Groco's WSB-750 is a pump inlet strainer with a 3/4 inch pipe size, standing 5 inches tall and 2.9 inches across. It has a nylon head and comes with a mounting bracket, and it is limited to installations above the water line. Debris from a fresh water supply tank is caught in a 20-mesh stainless basket, which the maker calls coarse. The ports are threaded for female NPT, and the sight glass unscrews so the basket can be removed and cleaned.
Our take
The nylon strainer head is limited to use above the water line, so treat this 3/4 inch unit as a fresh water tank-side filter rather than a below-waterline fitting. Its basket is a 20-mesh stainless one the maker calls coarse.
From our buying guide
Makers disagree on where to mount a strainer: Groco's installation sheet recommends above the waterline, and Westerbeke's generator manual says at or below it. Perko says to consult the engine manual for pipe size and strainer location.
Check before you buy:
- It matches your pipe size, since Perko says reducers may cause engine damage and are not recommended.
- You can reach the basket, since Groco says to inspect and clean it frequently.
- Open-area figures are compared within one maker, since each states its own measure.
