Water Basket Strainer
Jamison Products supplies water basket strainers for freshwater and seawater systems where pumps, meters, compressors, and downstream equipment need reliable protection. Patented Posi-Lock basket designs are available to help improve performance and reduce bypass risk.


From Jamison Products, an Allied Reliability Brand
Jamison Products, an Allied Reliability brand, designs and supplies basket strainers for water applications that require durable filtration, equipment protection, and configuration flexibility. Water basket strainers can be specified with standard features or multiple options to match process, material, connection, and maintenance requirements.

Engineered Products
Water Basket Strainer
A vital component in any water system is the water basket strainer which not only protects the Pump/Meter/Compressor but the additional components downstream. Jamison Products is a worldwide leader in freshwater and seawater basket strainers and duplex strainers, with patented designs to improve system performance.
Jamison Products is involved in providing and testing strainers for the API Ad Hoc Committee on Flow Conditioning For Turbine Meters. This has contributed to developing a new basket strainer, the Jamison Posi-Lock™, which is explicitly designed to improve process performance and prevent bypass caused by movement of the strainer basket in service.

THE CHALLENGE
Water System Debris Can Damage Equipment
Freshwater and seawater systems can carry debris that threatens pumps, meters, compressors, valves, and other downstream components. A properly specified basket strainer helps remove unwanted material before it reaches critical equipment.
- Debris or solids entering pumps and downstream components
- Maintenance exposure from clogged or damaged equipment
- Need for basket access during inspection and cleaning
- Application-specific requirements for materials, seals, coatings, or connections
