Use cases

Hand-pump intake protection

Stops debris from entering the pump body and damaging the impeller — common with WHALE MKV, Flipper MK4 and similar piston pumps.

Foot pump strainer

Equally suited for foot pumps such as WHALE Baby Foot MK2 and Gusher MK3 — strain water and hold prime in one part.

Integrated check valve saves space

Built-in non-return foot valve eliminates the need for a separate check valve, simplifying installation in tight bilge or galley spaces.

Installation guide

Identify pump intake

Locate the suction-side intake of your hand pump or foot pump. The strainer is designed for vertical descending pipes.

Match the mouth size

This strainer fits 25 mm or 38 mm hose connections. Verify your pump's intake size before ordering.

Insert into the pipe

Slide the strainer onto the bottom of the suction pipe — the non-return foot valve faces down toward the water.

Secure with a hose clamp

Lock the connection with a stainless steel hose clamp to prevent air leaks that could break pump priming.

Test the foot valve

Pump a few strokes to verify water lifts smoothly. Stop pumping — the foot valve should hold the column of water in the pipe, ready for the next cycle.
