Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Tool-free, fast installation with Quick Connect fittings
  • Protects expensive pump internals from damage
  • Suitable for both hot and cold water lines
  • Easy to disassemble for periodic cleaning

Cons

  • Requires manual inspection to prevent clogging
  • Limited to 15mm piping systems
  • Not intended for high-pressure industrial plumbing applications

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure the water system is depressurized. Cut your 15mm tubing squarely, ensuring there are no burrs, and push the tubing firmly into the Smartflo Quick Connect fitting until it is fully seated. For care, perform a visual inspection of the strainer bowl at least once per season or more frequently if you frequently replenish your water supply. To clean, unscrew the housing, rinse the mesh filter under fresh water to dislodge any trapped particles, and reassemble ensuring the O-ring seal is seated properly to prevent air leaks.
