Keep Your Tsurumi Pump Protected From Debris

The Aquascape Tsurumi Strainer for 3-pn, 4-pn, and 8-pn 5500 models is a factory-specification intake strainer that blocks solids and debris from entering the pump chamber of compatible Tsurumi external pond pumps. A cracked or missing strainer allows gravel and coarse organic matter to reach the impeller, causing premature wear or seizure.

OEM Protection for Tsurumi Pump Longevity

Tsurumi pumps are workhorses used in professional pond construction and large water features, but they rely on an unobstructed, protected intake to perform reliably season after season. This replacement strainer installs directly without modification and restores the manufacturer's specified debris exclusion rating. Inspecting and cleaning the strainer regularly is one of the simplest preventive maintenance steps for these pumps.

How to Use

Power down and unplug the pump before any maintenance. Remove the existing strainer by unclipping the retaining tabs or unscrewing the collar, depending on the model. Clear any debris from the inlet port. Snap or thread the replacement strainer into position until it seats securely. Restore power and verify normal pump operation. Clean the strainer monthly during heavy-use periods and before pond winterisation.

Ideal for large pond builds, professional pondless waterfall installations, and any application using Tsurumi 3-pn, 4-pn, or 8-pn 5500 series pumps where debris ingestion is a risk.
