The formed stainless wire mesh is tough enough to handle constant water exposure without corroding or collapsing, while the molded PVC threaded base creates a secure, watertight connection to standard pump intakes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnlike plastic dome-style pre-filters, the stainless mesh construction holds its shape under suction and resists crushing — important when your pump is pulling hard in debris-heavy water. It also acts as a bait retention screen, preventing small baitfish from being sucked into the pump and killed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless steel wire mesh — corrosion-resistant, holds shape under suction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMolded PVC threaded base for a secure, standard-thread pump connection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlocks debris, weeds, and small bait fish from entering the pump\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDurable formed construction — won’t crush or collapse under pump suction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEasy to remove and rinse clean between uses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eParts Desk Insights\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBest use case:\u003c\/strong\u003e This strainer is the right choice when you want metal-mesh durability at the pump intake — particularly on higher-flow pumps where a lightweight plastic dome filter might deform under suction, or in situations where you’re keeping small baitfish in the live well and need to prevent them from being pulled into the pump. It’s also the better long-term option for saltwater or brackish environments where plastic screens can degrade faster than stainless. If you need pre-filtration before water even reaches the pump snout, pair it with the dome filter for a two-stage approach.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePair it with:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/t-h-marine-aerator-filter-dome-3-4-thru-hull-pump-intake\"\u003eT-H Marine Aerator Filter Dome, 3\/4\" Thru-Hull or Pump\u003c\/a\u003e — add a dome pre-filter upstream for two-stage debris protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/t-h-marine-straight-aerator-head-shut-off-valve-3-4-black\"\u003eT-H Marine Straight Aerator Head with Shut-Off Valve, 3\/4\"\u003c\/a\u003e — spray head for centre-mounted pump outlets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/t-h-marine-90-degree-aerator-spray-head-shut-off-valve-3-4-black\"\u003eT-H Marine 90° Aerator Spray Head with Shut-Off Valve, 3\/4\"\u003c\/a\u003e — angled spray head for edge-mounted outlets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/t-h-marine-pro-live-well-oxygenator-flush-mount-12v\"\u003eT-H Marine Pro Live Well Oxygenator – Flush Mount, 12V\u003c\/a\u003e — upgrade to pure oxygen production for warm-water fishing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse all \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/livewell-tanks-accessories\"\u003eLivewell Tanks \u0026amp; Accessories\u003c\/a\u003e or shop the full \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/pumps-and-plumbing\"\u003ePumps \u0026amp; Plumbing\u003c\/a\u003e category.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LNS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51186792529956,"sku":"232-AS1DP","price":29.49,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0743\/5799\/7604\/files\/232-AS1DP.jpg?v=1785264807","url":"https:\/\/marisolmarine.com\/products\/t-h-marine-stainless-steel-wire-mesh-strainer-aerator-pump-intake","provider":"Marisol Marine Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
