The stainless basket is a
significant cost in the
manufacture of an average
sized aquatic strainer.
The basket represents the most costly replacement part for the
end-user.
The Fluidtrol strainer basket is
built to last. Our baskets are
laser cut from heavy duty 12
gauge stainless steel, making
this potential weak spot super
strong
