Heavy-Duty Pump Intake Screen with PVC Swing Check Valve

Maximize the performance and reliability of your high-volume pond or water feature pump with this Heavy-Duty Pump Intake Screen. Designed for demanding pumping applications, this durable intake screen helps protect your pump by preventing large debris such as sticks, fish, and aquatic weeds from entering the system while allowing smaller particles to pass through. This design reduces clogging and minimizes maintenance compared to finer mesh intake screens, helping maintain consistent water flow.

Constructed from epoxy-coated heavy-gauge galvanized wire, this intake screen is built to resist rust and corrosion, delivering dependable, long-lasting performance in ponds, lakes, irrigation systems, and large water features. The 1/2" x 1" mesh provides an ideal balance of debris protection and unrestricted water intake for high-capacity pumps.

Each intake screen includes a PVC swing check valve that helps keep your pump primed, improving efficiency and reducing downtime during operation. Whether you're installing a new pumping system or replacing an existing intake screen, this heavy-duty solution offers reliable protection for demanding water management applications.
