Compact Garden Hose Filter – 3/4" Thread

This is a compact garden hose filter designed to be connected to a standard 3/4" BSP male quick connector. It is a remix of the Apex Core20 Strainer, modified for improved compatibility, strength, and ease of use.

Key Features:

• 3/4" BSP female thread – fully rebuilt to ensure compatibility with most common hose fittings, including quick-connect adapters, standard garden couplings, and irrigation system components.
• Compact and space-efficient – scaled down from the original model to better fit tight spaces or small enclosures.
• Reinforced lower body – thicker wall design increases mechanical strength and durability.
• Two-part design – the original press-fit lid has been replaced with a threaded connection, allowing for a more secure and reliable closure while still enabling easy disassembly and cleaning.
• Customizable filter basket –  the bottom of the threaded outlet includes a flat sealing surface, designed to hold a rubber washer or a fine metal mesh, depending on your filtration needs. This allows for flexible filtering options and a watertight connection.
