STRAINER-INLINE,1/4 IN | CAX-20256 Hayward 1/4-inch inline strainer (model CAX-20256) Filtering out particles from a water flow to protect equipment. Flow Direction: Water enters the strainer body and passes through a mesh or perforated screen. Filtration: As the water flows through the screen, solid particles larger than the screen’s openings are trapped, allowing only filtered fluid to exit the outlet. This keeps debris from reaching components such as pumps, valves, or meters. Screen Design: The strainer typically has a stainless steel or durable plastic screen, that can be removed and cleaned. Screens are often sized based on filtration level measured in microns. Maintenance: Debris can build up, requiring the screen to be cleaned to prevent clogging and ensure a steady flow rate. Many models have a clear housing to monitor debris levels.
