Waterous 4.5″ Suction Screen
A Waterous 4.5″ Suction Screen ensures debris stays out of your fire pump, keeping it safe and effective. This critical component protects the pump and its internal parts from harmful contaminants found in water sources. By maintaining clear water flow, the screen improves the pump’s performance and reliability.
How Does the Suction Screen Work?
The suction screen acts as a barrier, trapping debris before it reaches the pump’s internal parts. Positioned at the water intake, it prevents harmful materials from damaging the pump. This protection ensures smoother operation and extends the life of your equipment.
