Aquaforte In-line Pre-filter (Dirty Harry)

If your pump keeps clogging with leaves and blanket weed, adding a mechanical barrier before the pump saves time and wear. The AquaForte In‑Line Pre‑Filter (Dirty Harry) is designed to sit on the suction side of a pump, capturing larger debris before it reaches the impeller.

Installed inline, it provides a straightforward way to protect pumps in pond and water feature systems.

What it does

• Captures larger solid debris before the pump
• Helps prevent pump blockages
• Reduces wear on impellers
• Supports steadier flow performance

By intercepting leaves and heavier particles early, it reduces strain on both the pump and downstream filtration.

Where it fits

• Installed on the suction line before the pump
• Suitable for pumped pond systems
• Ideal where bottom drains are not used
• Useful in retro‑fit upgrades

It’s particularly helpful on systems drawing water from skimmers or mid‑water intakes.

Maintenance

• Check and clean regularly, especially during heavy leaf fall
• Isolate pump before opening
• Ensure seals are correctly seated after cleaning

Routine inspection keeps flow consistent and prevents unnecessary pump stress.

Comes with unions for 63 & 50mm solvent pipe, 1½” female threading and hose tails 25/32/40mm.
