Carry Strainer Screens are designed to enclose the Stainless Steel Axial-Flow submersible pumps and help prevent debris from clogging the pump and causing motor damage. They do not impede the flow of water past the pump. Carry strongly recommends these screens in areas where debris or muck is likely to be contained in the water surrounding the pump. Strainer screens are available for either vertical or horizontal style pumps.

VERTICAL STRAINER SCREENS:

The Stainless Steel Axial-Flow Submersible pump is anchored to the bottom of the vertical screen using 2-1/2in. diameter UHMW plastic base pads and Stainless Steel fasteners. These UHMW plastic base pads are used in place of the Buna Urethane base pads that come standard on the Stainless Steel Axial-Flow Submersible pumps. They have excellent abrasive resistance, chemical resistance and dielectric properties and operate in temperatures from -26° F to +180° F.

PVC AND HIGH DENSITY POLYETHYLENE STRAINER SCREENS: The PVC Strainer Screens are manufactured with SDR 35 PVC pipe and high density polyethylene (HDPE) top and bottom sections. The screen portion is perforated with 1/2in. holes. These holes make up 37% - 40% of the surface of the screen and allow for water flow while restricting debris from reaching the pump. The PVC screens do not have support poles.

HORIZONTAL STRAINER SCREENS
Carry Strainer Screens are also available for horizontally mounted axial-flow submersible pumps. Strainer screens are available in PVC and High Density Polyethylene (HDPE). The screens are similar to those used for vertical pumps. However, on horizontal pump strainer screens the urethane rubber base pads are used to support the pump and screen assembly. The bottom plate section of the pump screen is also drilled with 1/2in. holes for increased water flow.
