Sea Strainer

The Horizon Reverse Osmosis (HRO) Sea Strainer prolongs pre-filter life by trapping suspended solids within the cleanable monel mesh screen.

Most manufacturers recommend adding a Sea Strainer at the through-hall, or the area where supply water enters the system. Salt or brackish water first enters the watermaker through the Sea Strainer, which should filter out any solids larger than 50 microns. This process prevents larger solids from entering further into the system and potentially clogging any of the pre-filters or membranes, which can result in costly repairs.

Please remember to clean the Sea Strainer's monel mesh screen regularly to prolong its useful life.

The HRO Sea Strainers are available in either the traditional plastic housing (SF 170) or the bronze (all other Seafari systems). (PSS or BSS).
