Karcher 2.997-201.0 prefilter for SP submersible pumps

This Kärcher 2.997-201.0 suction filter is a black prefilter designed for use with Kärcher SP3 and SP5 submersible dirty water pumps. It protects the pump by preventing large debris from entering the inlet while allowing efficient water flow through its 5 mm mesh.

Advantages

The suction filter reduces the risk of pump blockages and wear by catching larger dirt particles before they reach the pump. Its clip-on design makes installation quick and tool-free, and the durable construction is suited to repeated use in demanding conditions.

Suitable for

• Protecting Kärcher SP3 pumps during dirty water pumping
• Protecting Kärcher SP5 pumps during dirty water pumping
• Pumping water containing large debris (e.g., leaves, gravel up to 5 mm)

How to use

Place the suction filter over the pump inlet at the bottom of the submersible pump and secure it using the built-in clips. Ensure the filter sits evenly around the inlet so water can flow freely through the mesh while larger particles are kept out. Inspect and clean the mesh regularly to maintain optimal pumping performance.

Recommendations

Use the filter when pumping heavily soiled water containing larger particles. Regularly remove accumulated debris and rinse the mesh; if the mesh becomes damaged or excessively clogged, replace the filter to avoid reduced pump performance or damage.
