Foot Valve Strainer

Foot Valves and Foot Strainers

Protect your chemical feed system

Peristaltic pumps can easily pump chemicals with particles. However, the use of a Suction Strainer can help prevent clogging in the required Injection check valve. For more viscous fluids, removal of the Polypropylene Filter from the Suction Strainer may allow for better flow.

A Foot Valve may be considered to prevent loss of prime when performing regular maintenance, such as replacing a Tube Assembly.
