Protect Your Systems with Reliable Water Strainers
Water strainers are essential for protecting pipelines, pumps, valves, and other critical equipment from damage caused by debris and suspended solids. FILTEC offers a range of strainers, including Y-strainers, X-strainers, basket strainers, and automatic self-cleaning strainers. These solutions help maintain optimal flow rates, reduce maintenance costs, and improve operational efficiency.Â
Our Strainers
Y & T-Strainers
FILTEC’s Y and T strainers are both designed to remove coarse debris from pipelines. Y-strainers feature a compact, angled body for flexible installation with minimal pressure drop. T-strainers provide a larger filtration area and easier access for maintenance, making them ideal for high-flow, high-pressure applications.
Basket Strainers
Our basket strainers remove large debris while supporting high flow rates. Their robust baskets offer extensive filtration with minimal pressure loss, and quick-release covers with removable baskets enable fast, hassle-free cleaning to maintain system efficiency and protect equipment.Â
Automatic Self-Cleaning Strainers
FILTEC’s automatic self-cleaning strainers provide continuous filtration without manual cleaning or system shutdowns. Activated by differential pressure sensors, they efficiently remove debris, making them ideal for high-contamination environments while reducing maintenance costs and ensuring uninterrupted operation.Â

How Strainers Work
Strainers work by mechanically filtering water as it flows through a perforated or mesh screen that captures suspended solids and debris. Depending on the type, strainers can be manually cleaned or designed with self-cleaning mechanisms to maintain continuous operation. They are crucial in protecting pumps, valves, and sensitive equipment from wear and damage caused by particulates.Â
FAQs
What is the purpose of a water strainer?
A water strainer protects downstream equipment by removing debris and suspended solids from water, preventing blockages and reducing wear and tear on pumps, valves, and other components.
How do I choose the right strainer for my system?
Chlorine levels are typically monitored using inline analysers or manual testing kits. FILTEC also provides analysers, control equipment, and ongoing servicing to ensure accurate and reliable chlorine level management.
How often should strainers be cleaned?
Cleaning frequency depends on the strainer type and water quality. Basket and Y-strainers require periodic manual cleaning, while automatic self-cleaning strainers reduce the need for regular maintenance.
What are the advantages of automatic self-cleaning strainers?
Automatic self-cleaning strainers offer continuous filtration without manual intervention, reducing maintenance time and ensuring consistent system performance, especially in high-debris environments.
Can strainers handle high-pressure systems?
Yes, FILTEC offers strainers designed for high-pressure applications, constructed with robust materials to ensure durability and reliability under demanding conditions.
