Bought the SWF003 as our 50hp Yanmar diesel raw water strainer. At anything above idle RPM, as the engine water pump started to draw a suction, this strainer allowed air to leak into the bowl, ultimately filling the bowl with air, blocking the water flow and overheating the engine. I followed the directions carefully to lubricate the seal and threads of the cover, but no luck. For three months we had to open up the engine and check the strainer every 20 minutes, and it rarely could go more than 40 minutes without opening the cover and refilling the bowl. Of course I had checked all hose clamps and hoses, no problem there. When we got back to Florida Seaflo sent us a replacement strainer- which did exactly the same thing in the first 20 minutes. We bit the bullet and ordered the Vetus FTR330, which has worked flawlessly since the moment it was installed. The bowl stays full, the engine stays cool, and I no longer have to open the engine and refill a strainer every 20 minutes !! Looking over both the Seaflo and Vetus units carefully, I think there are two reasons for the Seaflo failure. The Vetus unit uses a large, thick, compressible, o-ring to seal the lid. The Seaflo unit uses a flat rubber washer to seal the lid, and the washer is quite firm, with no compliance to assist on sealing. Additionally, as the Vetus O-ring is compressed, it seals against four surfaces, two perpendicular surfaces on the underside of the lid and two perpendicular surfaces on the top of the bowl. The non-compliant Seaflo washer, in contrast, attempts to seal on single, very narrow, surfaces of both the lid and bowl. Don't buy this Seaflo strainer- spend the extra money for the Vetus FTR330 and it will work from Day 1... ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0CH1TNJYK | | Best Sellers Rank | #79,858 in Pet Supplies ( See Top 100 in Pet Supplies ) #82 in Boat Plumbing Fittings #1,274 in Aquarium Filter Accessories | | Brand | SEAFLO | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (16) | | Date First Available | August 31, 2023 | | Item Weight | 1.7 pounds | | Item model number | 1",1-1/4",1-1/2" | | Material | Mesh | | Number of Items | 1 | | Package Dimensions | 9.61 x 5.67 x 5.59 inches | | Product Benefits | Removes Debris and Protects Equipment for Enhanced Water Quality and System Reliability | | Set Name | 1", 1-1/4", 1-1/2" | | UPC | 810039493281 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** SEAFLO - **Item Weight:** 0.77 Kilograms - **Material:** Mesh - **Product Benefits:** Removes Debris and Protects Equipment for Enhanced Water Quality and System Reliability - **Set Name:** 1", 1-1/4", 1-1/2" ## Images ![Raw Sea Water Filter/Intake Strainer for 1",1-1/4",1-1/2" Hose Sizes… - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61gWoGUuoAL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by J***S on July 27, 2025* Bien ### ⭐ Do not buy- would not seal! *by A***B on May 21, 2024* For three months cruising in the Bahamas I could not get this strainer to seal!
