What is attached to the drafting end of a hard intake hose to keep debris from entering the ump?

• A. Intake Strainers
• B. Debris Guards
• C. Filters
• D. Screens

Answer: (A)

On the drafting end of a hard suction hose, you attach an intake strainer to keep debris from entering the pump. The strainer acts as a basket or screen that catches leaves, twigs, and other solids while letting water flow through. This protects the pump’s impeller and seals, prevents clogs, and makes maintenance easier in the field. While similar devices exist under other names, the standard term used in this context is intake strainer.
