Why Strainers Matter for Pool Recirculation
One of the most overlooked pieces of equipment in a pool recirculation suction system is the basket strainer. Basket strainers are incredibly important because they protect the pump — arguably the most crucial and most expensive piece of equipment in any pool recirculation suction system.
As water is being sucked into the pump, it passes through the strainer, which removes any debris that made its way into the system through the skimmer. Items captured can include small plastic toys, plastic pieces from swim gear, woodchips from nearby landscaping, or, more often, hair and lint.
