Key Features

• Debris Protection: Prevents clogs and pump damage
• Five Sizes: For 2", 3", 4", 6", and 8" pipe
• Professional Quality: Durable construction
• Easy Maintenance: Simple cleaning access
• Extended Pump Life: Protects pump impeller

Available Sizes

2" Pipe Intake Filter (SKU: PIF2): 18 inches long with 11-inch diameter, designed for 2-inch pipe connections. Perfect for small to medium centrifugal pumps in residential pond applications. Ideal for smaller ponds and water gardens with 2-inch plumbing.

3" Pipe Intake Filter (SKU: PIF3): 30 inches long with 11-inch diameter, designed for 3-inch pipe connections. Perfect for medium centrifugal pumps in residential and light commercial applications. The extended length provides increased filtration surface area for higher flow rates. Ideal for medium ponds and larger water features with 3-inch plumbing.

4" Pipe Intake Filter (SKU: PIF4): 30 inches long with 11-inch diameter, designed for 4-inch pipe connections. Perfect for large centrifugal pumps in residential and commercial applications. Provides substantial filtration capacity for high-flow pump systems. Ideal for large ponds and commercial water features with 4-inch plumbing.

6" Pipe Intake Filter (SKU: PIF6): 48 inches long with 20-inch diameter, designed for 6-inch pipe connections. Perfect for very large centrifugal pumps in commercial and industrial applications. Provides maximum filtration surface area for high-capacity pump systems. Ideal for very large ponds, lakes, and commercial installations with 6-inch plumbing.

8" Pipe Intake Filter (SKU: PIF8): 48 inches long with 20-inch diameter, designed for 8-inch pipe connections. Perfect for the largest centrifugal pumps in commercial and industrial applications. Provides maximum filtration capacity for the highest flow rate systems. Ideal for lakes, large commercial installations, and industrial applications with 8-inch plumbing.

Why Use an Intake Filter

Centrifugal pumps are vulnerable to damage from debris entering the impeller. Leaves, sticks, rocks, and other materials can clog the impeller, reduce efficiency, and cause costly damage. An intake filter prevents these problems by screening debris before it reaches the pump, extending pump life and reducing maintenance frequency.

How It Works

The intake filter attaches to the pump's intake pipe and sits in the pond. Water flows through the filter screen, which captures debris while allowing clean water to pass through to the pump. The large surface area ensures high flow capacity with minimal restriction. Periodically clean the filter to remove accumulated debris.

FAQ

Q: Which size should I choose?
A: Choose based on your pump's pipe size: PIF2 for 2" pipe, PIF3 for 3" pipe, PIF4 for 4" pipe, PIF6 for 6" pipe, PIF8 for 8" pipe.

Q: Why do I need an intake filter?
A: Intake filters prevent debris from entering and damaging your pump, extending pump life and reducing maintenance.

Q: How often should I clean the filter?
A: Cleaning frequency depends on debris levels. Inspect regularly and clean when debris accumulation is visible or flow decreases.

Q: Will this reduce my pump's flow rate?
A: The large surface area minimizes flow restriction. When clean, the filter has minimal impact on flow rate.

Q: Is this difficult to install?
A: No, the filter connects to your pump's intake pipe and sits in the pond. Installation is straightforward.

Q: Can I use this with submersible pumps?
A: This filter is designed for centrifugal pumps with external intake pipes. Submersible pumps typically have built-in intake screens.
