VETUS FTR330M Seawater Strainer
The VETUS FTR330M seawater strainer catches seaweed and larger debris before they reach your watermaker’s feed pump.
It has a NAVIDURIN® housing and an aluminium lid with a clear polycarbonate window, allowing you to inspect the basket without opening the strainer.
Maximum pressure: 8 bar (116 psi).
Connection sizes

19 mm (3/4"): VETUS FTR33019M

Installation
For Water Makers Australia systems, install below the waterline, between the seawater inlet seacock and the feed pump, to suit the pump’s flooded suction requirement. Leave enough space above the strainer to remove the basket.
Cleaning
Switch off the watermaker and close the seacock before opening the lid. Remove and rinse the basket, then refit it and tighten the lid by hand without tools. Reopen the seacock and check the seal before restarting.

Will I be stuck if I need a spare part while I'm far from home?
No. We've deliberately built our systems around industry-standard, non-proprietary components: standard 10-inch filters, DuPont FilmTec membranes, and readily available fittings, so most of what you'd need is standard, widely available gear, not a proprietary part you can only get from one supplier.
Some parts are still easiest to get directly from us, and that's fine too. We sell direct to you rather than through a dealer network, so you're talking to the people who actually build these systems, not a third party. We stock spares ourselves and can ship them out to you, including to remote areas, just get in touch and we'll sort you out.
Good engineering means thinking about what happens when something needs replacing three years and a thousand nautical miles from where you bought it.
