Common Concerns Answered
I have an older Raritan strainer, will this basket fit?
This basket is specifically designed for Raritan RWS Raw Water Strainers. While older models may vary, the unique value lies in its official OEM status, ensuring a perfect fit and function with compatible Raritan RWS units. Verifying your existing strainer model against the RWS designation is recommended.
What is the P65 warning for?
The P65 warning is a regulatory requirement for products sold in California. It indicates the presence of chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. This warning is standard for many marine products and does not necessarily imply an immediate risk during normal use, as per P65Warnings.ca.gov.
What happens if large debris enters the strainer?
While the mesh nylon construction is durable, allowing excessively large debris into the strainer can compromise mesh integrity over time. Regular inspection and cleaning of the strainer basket are advised to prevent this and ensure the longevity of both the basket and your engine's cooling system.
