Strainers catch debris in your pipeline, preventing damage to valves, pumps, nozzles, and other sensitive equipment. They are designed for medium-pressure applications. Strainers have a threaded drain with a plug that provides access to the screen without disconnecting your line. They have good corrosion resistance.
Strainers for use with drinking water meet NSF/ANSI 61 safety standards for drinking water systems.

Also known as reverse osmosis water filters, these have several cartridges that reduce odor, rust, sediment, and lead from drinking water, as well as a tank to store filtered water. Filter housings have an additional prefilter to protect the reverse osmosis cartridge from damage caused by particles and chlorine. They are opaque white so they block light to minimize algae growth.

Plastic Filter Housings with Cartridge for Drinking Water
Prepare water for use in beverages, food preparation, and ice production. These filter housings come with a cartridge that prevents scale formation, which can damage equipment. They also come with adapters and a length of tubing for under-sink installation between a water line and faucet. Both the filter and the cartridge meet NSF/ANSI 42 and 53 for use with drinking (potable) water.
Filter housings with a flow-control valve let you stop the flow to replace the cartridge.
Filter housings with a maximum flow rate of 3 gpm hold two cartridges for additional flow. They require two replacement cartridges.

Tap into great-tasting water by screwing this filter directly onto your faucet. It comes with a cartridge that filters out sediment, chlorine, and other particles that cause unpleasant tastes and odors. The cartridge lasts approximately two months or 200 gallons of water. Filter housing is opaque white so it blocks light to minimize algae growth. It is not recommended for hot water.
