2″ Floating Filter
he Floating Filter provides an effective solution for extracting cleaner water from rainwater harvesting and storage tanks. Its air-filled floating ball allows the stainless steel screened suction extractor to remain positioned below the water surface as the tank water level changes.
By maintaining the suction inlet above the accumulated sediment at the bottom of the tank, the floating filter helps reduce the intake of debris and sediment into the pump system. The assembly includes a flexible suction hose, stainless steel hose clamps, securing lanyard, and hose barb connection for pump suction. The standard hose length is 5 ft, with custom hose lengths available upon request.
