An Open Well Pump Strainer is a component of a well pump system designed to filter debris and prevent foreign particles from entering the pump. The strainer helps protect the pump from damage caused by solids, sand, and other contaminants in the well water. These are commonly made of materials such as stainless steel, plastic, or other corrosion-resistant materials. This is typically installed at the lower end of the suction pipe in the well. Open Well Pump Strainer s include features to prevent airlocks or entrapment of air within the well casing, which can affect pump performance. Proper ventilation in the strainer design helps maintain an efficient pumping system.
