Why Use Water Filters & Strainers?

  • Pump Protection: Prevent debris from damaging pump valves, seals, and pistons
  • Extend Equipment Life: Clean water supply reduces wear on pumps and components
  • Prevent Clogs: Filter sediment before it reaches nozzles and spray tips
  • Maintain Performance: Consistent water quality ensures reliable pressure washer operation
  • Reduce Downtime: Prevent pump damage and repairs from contaminated water

Understanding Mesh Ratings

  • 30 Mesh: Larger openings for coarse filtration, less restriction, easier cleaning
  • 50 Mesh: Medium filtration for general pressure washing applications
  • 80 Mesh: Fine filtration for maximum pump protection
  • 100 Mesh: Very fine filtration for high-pressure applications and sensitive equipment
  • Finer Mesh = Better Protection: But requires more frequent cleaning

Installation & Maintenance

  • Install Before Pump: Mount filter on water supply line before pressure washer pump
  • Regular Cleaning: Clean or replace screens regularly based on water quality
  • Visual Inspection: Check clear bowl filters for sediment buildup
  • Replacement Screens: Keep spare screens on hand for quick maintenance
  • O-Ring Maintenance: Replace o-rings and gaskets to prevent leaks
