Johnson Pump PUMProtector Inline Inlet Strainer – KlickTite Connectors, SS Mesh
An inline inlet strainer designed to protect livewell, baitwell, and washdown pumps from debris before it reaches the impeller or diaphragm. The transparent cover lets you check the screen condition at a glance without removing anything. When it’s time to clean, the KlickTite™ connectors release the entire unit tool-free — pull it out, rinse the stainless steel mesh screen, and click it back in. Two KlickTite connectors are included to cover the most common hose and port sizes right out of the box.
- Transparent cover — inspect screen condition without removal
- KlickTite™ connectors — tool-free installation and removal for cleaning
- Stainless steel mesh screen
- Includes 2 KlickTite connectors:
- 1 × 1/2" hose / 3/8" NPT
- 1 × 3/4" hose / 1/2" NPT
- Entire unit removable for thorough cleaning
Parts Desk Insights
The PUMProtector is the right addition to any livewell or baitwell plumbing run where debris, grass, or sediment could reach the pump — particularly on boats fishing in shallow, weedy, or silty water. Inline strainers like this one sit in the supply line between the thru-hull fitting and the pump, catching debris before it can damage the pump’s internal components. The KlickTite tool-free design makes it practical to clean at the ramp or dockside without carrying tools. The two included connectors cover both 1/2" and 3/4" hose runs, so it fits most common livewell plumbing configurations without additional fittings. Pair it with the Johnson Pump 77125 Thru-Hull Intake Filter for a two-stage debris protection system — the thru-hull filter catches large debris at the hull, and this inline strainer catches finer particles before they reach the pump. Compatible with the Johnson Pump Aqua Jet Baitwell Pump and the Johnson Pump Aqua O2 Aerator Pump range.
