40 MESH SSTL BSKT FOR 8" BSKT | BS78001440

40 MESH SSTL BSKT FOR 8" BSKT | BS78001440 The Hayward 40 Mesh SSTL Basket (BS78001440) is a basket strainer to filter out fine debris. Fluid Filtration:  As water flows through the basket, the 40 mesh stainless steel screen traps fine particles (40 openings per inch). This prevents unwanted debris from entering into the filter. Protecting Equipment: Helping with protecting pumps, valves, and other equipment from damage or blockages caused by particulate matter. The basket allows clean water to pass while catching smaller particles that might otherwise cause damage or reduce system performance. Maintenance: Periodic maintenance involves removing and cleaning or replacing the basket to ensure continuous filtration and prevent clogging, which can lead to increased filter pressure and inefficiency. Material Benefits: Made of 316 stainless steel, the basket resists corrosion and can handle harsh environments, making it suitable for applications involving chemicals, and saltwater.
