Description
This is a Stronger Quality Bottom Strainer / Lower Distributor component essential for ensuring optimal water treatment performance. It is positioned at the base of the filter vessel to prevent filter media from escaping into the system while allowing filtered water to pass freely. Designed to accommodate a 27mm (1.05″ OD) riser pipe, this bottom strainer features a mesh design that effectively separates the media from the treated water.
Features
- Stronger Quality: Reinforced construction provides superior mechanical strength to support the weight of the filter media under pressure.
- Effective Media Retention: The fine mesh design acts as a screen, allowing particles smaller than the water filter medium to pass through, ensuring effective filtration without media loss.
- Versatile Fitment: Designed to accommodate different size riser pipes, which can be solvent welded or threaded and screwed into the distributor (check your model’s requirement).
- Balanced Collection: Ensures uniform collection of filtered water across the entire base of the media bed.
What Does It Do?
The Bottom Strainer is the base-level component that supports the entire filter media bed. In the Service Cycle (filtering), it collects the fully treated water that has passed through the media and directs it up the riser pipe to the control valve. In the Backwash Cycle, it helps to distribute the backwash flow evenly across the bottom of the vessel, lifting and cleaning the media efficiently.
Good to Know
- Crucial for Performance: Bottom strainers are vital for maintaining the integrity of the media bed and preventing filter media (like resin or sand) from entering your water lines.
- Riser Pipe Connection: The riser pipe extends down to connect directly to this strainer, completing the critical internal flow path.
- Compatibility: This strainer is compatible with 27mm (1.05″ OD) riser pipes, typically used with 2.5-inch filter heads.

Maintenance
- Self-Cleaning: During a proper backwash cycle, the strainer should be effectively flushed, preventing clogging.
- Visual Check: If flow rate drops significantly, the strainer should be checked for clogging by media fines or foreign debris, although the stronger quality design is built for resilience.
