OverviewOur custom two-stage intake filter uses a coarse outer screen and an ultra-fine 60-mesh stainless inner filter to block debris, sand, and sediment before they reach your Scout. An in-house rubber sleeve keeps the filter lifted off the bottom, preventing clogging in shallow or silty water. Built tough for Australian conditions. Key Features Marine-Grade Stainless Steel Corrosion-resistant, high durability, and built to live in saltwater. Super-Fine 60-Mesh Screen Stops silt, sand particles, and marine grit before they ever reach your prefilter. Anti-Sand Rubber Sleeve Keeps the strainer slightly elevated to prevent clogging and protects the stainless body from impacts. High Flow, Zero Fuss Designed to supply clean feed water without starving your pump. Plug-and-Play Scout Compatibility Fits directly to your existing feed line—no adaptors, no special fittings. Why It Matters A suction filter is your first line of defence. When you’re drawing from beaches, estuaries, dinghies, or shallow anchorages, this is what stops the “bad stuff” before it hits your prefilter or membrane. Fewer clogs, fewer flushes, and longer system life. Perfect For • Sailors and cruisers launching from shore • Offshore fishers pulling water near reefs or weed beds • 4WD and off-grid users drawing from rivers, lakes, or temporary water sources • Emergency setups where reliability matters more than anything Clean feed water starts here. Tough, simple, and built for Australian conditions — just like the Scout.
