Durable, visible inlet filter for washing machines — protects pumps and valves from sediment and extends appliance life Key benefits Prevents clogs and costly repairs by capturing sand, rust and debris before it reaches the washing machine. Maintains even water pressure and distribution thanks to a 1/2-inch caliber design with minimal flow resistance. Easy visual monitoring: transparent tube lets you see contamination level and know when cleaning or replacement is needed. What it is Construction: sturdy brass body with an upgraded, thickened design that resists pressure and bursting. Filter element: reusable stainless steel mesh that effectively filters sediment without degrading water flow. Visible housing: clear, screw-in tube for simple inspection and access. Easy installation and maintenance No tools required: install or remove the transparent tube by hand to access the filter element. Detachable and reusable: the stainless steel element can be removed, rinsed under running water, or replaced as needed to extend service life. Simple upkeep reduces downtime and keeps washing performance consistent. Compatibility and performance Uses a 1/2-inch caliber filter element designed for standard 1/2-inch inlet connections; minimal impact on water pressure distribution. Suitable for typical household washing machine inlet hoses and other standard 1/2-inch cold-water supply lines. Practical use scenarios Home washing machine inlet: prevent sediment from entering pumps and valves in older plumbing systems. Apartments or rental units: protect appliances fed by municipal or building water lines with occasional debris. Portable or RV laundry setups: durable, compact filtration that is easy to inspect and clean on the go. What makes it stand out Brass body for strength and pressure resistance, stainless steel mesh for durable filtration, and a transparent housing for quick visual checks — all designed for easy, tool-free maintenance and long service life.
