2 in. Stainless Steel High Flow Floating Filter w/ 6' Hose & Check Valve

Ensure that your pump is sourcing and pressurizing water from the just below the surface of your water storage or rainwater harvesting tank rather than off of the bottom where settling will occur. This helps to prevent debris from entering your pump and potentially causing problems. In a rainwater harvesting system, it's always recommended that you filter rainwater prior to the storage tank and again prior to the water pump. This 6 mesh, over 2000 micron, stainless steel, floating suction filter will screw into a 2'' female NPT Bulkhead Fitting on the inside of the sidewall of your water storage tank. The 8'' inflatable buoy will rise to the surface, and the floating filter will then be positioned just below the surface of the water. This floating suction filter will help your pump deliver the best quality water from your tank to your point of use. It's recommended that you clean the filter periodically to optimize overall system performance. These filters also work well in lakes or ponds. The hose is made with NSF-51 materials.The Check Valve is needed to prevent water from flowing back the opposite direction into the water tank, pond, or lake. Check valves are typically needed when your pump is above the level of the water source.
