Raw Water Strainer
Raritan Raw Water Strainer – Clear, Durable Protection for Marine Cooling Systems
The Raritan Raw Water Strainer is a critical line of defense against debris that can clog or damage your onboard systems. Whether you're drawing seawater to cool an engine, feed an air conditioner, or supply a washdown pump, this rugged and compact strainer helps protect against breakdowns caused by grass, sand, seaweed, or floating plastic.
Crafted from high-impact, corrosion-resistant polycarbonate, the housing is clear for fast visual inspection and allows tool-free access via a threaded bowl. You can spot buildup at a glance and clean the internal screen in minutes—no tools, no hassle. This reduces maintenance time and ensures consistent system performance, even in debris-heavy waters.
Inside, a removable stainless steel mesh screen filters particles without restricting water flow. The durable screen design traps contaminants early, keeping pumps, heat exchangers, and hoses from fouling or overheating. And thanks to its lightweight body, the Raritan strainer puts less stress on mounts and fittings than heavy bronze or brass alternatives.
Each unit includes a secure, vibration-resistant mounting base and is available in multiple sizes and hose diameters to suit a wide range of marine applications—from small recreational boats to larger yachts. Whether you're retrofitting an older system or installing new, the Raw Water Strainer offers plug-and-play simplicity and flexible compatibility.
Use it to protect marine engines, generators, HVAC systems, refrigeration units, or any component that relies on raw water intake. With its Made in the USA quality and user-friendly design, it’s a reliable, low-cost solution that prevents high-cost repairs.
When boating in coastal, inland, or marina environments where debris is a constant threat, a Raritan Raw Water Strainer gives you the confidence to operate worry-free—keeping your systems clean, your performance strong, and your time on the water uninterrupted.
