GROCO 1/2-Inch Poly Basket Fresh Water Strainer

The GROCO WSB-500-P fresh-water strainer is designed to catch debris before it reaches a pump and causes reduced flow, valve problems, or unnecessary wear. Its compact layout combines a white nylon head with a clear bowl so the basket can be checked without opening the assembly. GROCO identifies this version for salt-water or continuous-duty AC/genset service, so the basket configuration should be matched to the actual system before installation. The plastic basket can be removed for cleaning when debris begins to accumulate.

The clear bowl on the WSB-500-P unscrews to provide direct access to the filter basket during routine service. The simple service arrangement is useful in freshwater and auxiliary systems where regular inspection is preferable to waiting for a clogged line. A mounting bracket is included, allowing the strainer to be secured instead of hanging from the connected hose or pipe. Keeping the bowl visible and reachable makes it easier to catch a restriction before the pump begins cycling poorly or loses performance.

• Removable plastic filter basket
• Clear bowl for quick visual inspection
• Serviceable without replacing the complete strainer
• Included mounting bracket

Mount the WSB-500-P where the bowl can be unscrewed without removing surrounding equipment and where any spilled water can be managed safely. Support the connected plumbing on both sides so the nylon head is not carrying hose weight or vibration. After cleaning the basket, inspect the bowl seal and confirm the housing is fully seated before the pump is returned to service.
