Paddock™ High Flow Water Strainer Filter – 40 Micron
Description
The Paddock™ High Flow Water Strainer Filter is a heavy-duty inline water filter designed for higher-flow pressure washer applications. Its large clear bowl, reusable 40 micron filter screen and high-flow construction make it well suited to commercial pressure washers and gravity-fed water supply systems.
Manufactured from durable PA nylon with moulded-in brass fittings, the strainer helps remove rust, dirt, sand and other debris from the incoming water supply before it reaches the pressure washer pump.
Paddock™ High Flow Water Strainer Filter – 40 Micron
Pressure washer pumps can be sensitive to contamination in the incoming water supply. Installing a suitable inlet-side strainer helps capture larger debris before it reaches the pump.
This larger-capacity Paddock filter is designed for applications where a higher flow rate is required than a compact inline filter can comfortably provide.

High Flow Design
The larger filter body provides a greater filtration area than a compact inline filter, helping maintain water flow while capturing debris from the supply.
The supplied product information states that the filter is suitable for gravity feeding Paddock commercial pressure washers with flow requirements up to approximately 25L/min.
Reusable 40 Micron Filter Screen
The internal 40 micron filter screen can be removed, washed and reused during routine maintenance.
The clear lower bowl allows the operator to visually inspect the filter for accumulated debris and determine when cleaning is required.
Air Release Valve
An integrated air-release valve in the upper cap helps purge trapped air from the filter housing during filling and priming.
This is particularly useful where the filter is installed in gravity-fed or low-pressure supply arrangements.
Durable Nylon & Brass Construction
The filter body is manufactured from PA nylon and incorporates moulded-in brass fittings for the threaded connections.
This combination provides a robust housing while maintaining secure inlet and outlet connections.

Installation & Maintenance
Install the filter in the pressure washer water supply line before the pump. Ensure the connections are correctly sealed and that the filter is installed where the clear bowl can be easily inspected and serviced.
Check the filter screen regularly and clean it whenever debris accumulation begins to restrict flow.
Important: The filter must not be allowed to restrict the water supply below the minimum flow required by the pressure washer pump.
