Raw Water Strainer
Raw Water Strainer – Simple, Durable Protection for Your Systems
The Raritan Raw Water Strainer is your first line of defense against costly engine or system failures caused by debris entering through raw water intake lines. Designed for reliability and ease of maintenance, this rugged strainer delivers peace of mind for any boater operating in debris-prone waters.
Built in the USA from non-corrosive, high-impact polycarbonate, the housing offers exceptional visibility so you can instantly monitor buildup and know when to clean it. Its clear, threaded bowl allows for fast access and easy inspection—no tools required. Unlike heavy bronze or brass models, this lightweight design reduces strain on mounting points and simplifies installation.
The strainer protects marine engines, air conditioning units, refrigeration systems, washdown pumps, and any other onboard system that uses raw water for cooling. By intercepting grass, seaweed, sand, or plastic before it enters vital components, the strainer helps prevent clogs, overheating, or mechanical damage.
Each unit features a secure mounting base for vibration resistance and a removable stainless steel mesh screen that traps fine particles without restricting flow. Maintenance is straightforward—just unscrew the housing, rinse the screen, and reassemble.
Available in multiple sizes and hose diameters, the Raw Water Strainer integrates easily with both new installations and retrofit systems. Whether you're cruising coastal waters or operating in high-debris harbors, it’s a smart, affordable upgrade that can save you hours of repair time and thousands in equipment damage.
When it comes to protecting your onboard systems, a little prevention goes a long way. The Raritan Raw Water Strainer is engineered to keep your boat running smoothly—so you can focus on enjoying the journey.
