Kessel System 100 strainer, model 43700, is a replacement sediment filter element designed for use in wastewater and drainage systems compatible with the System 100 product family. The strainer captures solid particles and debris from wastewater flow, providing mechanical separation to protect pumps, valves and downstream plumbing components. It is intended for routine maintenance and reduces the risk of blockages in household and commercial drainage installations.
Advantages
The strainer offers straightforward mechanical filtration without electrical components, enabling reliable capture of sand, lint, hair and other solid contaminants. Its design allows easy installation and removal for inspection or cleaning, supporting regular maintenance cycles. By preventing larger particles from entering sensitive equipment, the element helps extend the service life of pumps and valves and reduces downtime related to clogging.
Suitable for
- Replacement filtration element in System 100 compatible drainage and wastewater units
- Residential drainage systems subject to sand, hair and solid debris
- Commercial washrooms, small service pumps and building drainage maintenance
- Periodic maintenance programs to reduce blockages and protect downstream equipment
When it may not be suitable
This sediment filter element is intended for mechanical separation of solid debris and is not suitable where chemical filtration, biological treatment or ultrafine particle removal is required. It is not a substitute for primary treatment processes in heavily contaminated industrial effluents or for filtration of dissolved solids.
Key specifications
- Function: mechanical sediment/debris filtration
- Compatibility: designed for System 100 range drainage units
- Typical captured contaminants: sand, lint, hair and similar solid particles
- Service role: replacement filter element for maintenance and clog prevention
How to use
Install the strainer element in the designated housing of a System 100 compatible unit according to the system manufacturer’s instructions. Periodically remove the element for inspection and cleaning: flush or brush away accumulated debris and reinstall once clean and undamaged. Follow the drainage system maintenance schedule and check for sealing and correct seating after each service to ensure continued protection of pumps and valves.
What to consider before purchase
- Confirm compatibility with your specific System 100 drainage unit model before ordering
- Assess the typical debris load in your installation to determine cleaning frequency
- Ensure spare elements or cleaning intervals align with your maintenance plan
Usage recommendations
For reliable operation, inspect the strainer at regular intervals determined by the volume and type of solids in the wastewater. Replace the element if it shows signs of damage or excessive wear. Use only approved replacement parts for System 100 units to maintain proper fit and sealing.
