Water filter Gardena Pump Preliminary Filter 3000 l/h

The Gardena Pump Preliminary Filter 3000 l/h protects pumps from sand and debris by being installed between the pump (pressure tank unit or electronic pressure pump) and the suction hose. It is designed for a maximum water flow of 3000 l/h (50 l/min) and features a black and transparent housing that allows easy visual checking of the filter element. The filter has a 33.3 mm (G 1) mating thread and a washable insert to extend pump service life by preventing impurities from entering the pump.

Advantages

The preliminary filter captures sand and coarse particles before they reach the pump, reducing wear and maintenance. Its transparent section enables quick visual inspection of contamination, while the washable filter element provides repeated use without replacement. The G 1 (33.3 mm) threaded connection ensures compatibility with standard garden pump suction hoses and fittings.

• Pumping water containing sand or coarse debris

How to use

Mount the preliminary filter between the suction hose and the pump’s inlet (pressure tank unit or electronic pressure pump) using the G 1 (33.3 mm) threaded connection.

Periodically inspect the transparent housing for accumulated debris; remove the filter, rinse the element under clean water and reinstall once dry or free of particles.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, check the filter regularly when pumping water with visible sand or high debris content. Clean the washable element as soon as flow is noticeably reduced. Do not use the filter with fluids other than water or with chemicals that could damage the housing or filter material.
