When it comes to protecting your vessel’s engines, generators, and onboard systems, reliability is everything. Arctic Steel strainers, proudly manufactured by Hydrasearch Company, LLC, set the standard for strength, performance, and corrosion resistance in the most demanding marine environments.
Unmatched Durability with Duplex 2205 Stainless Steel
At the heart of every Arctic Steel strainer is Duplex 2205 stainless steel, a superior alloy that outperforms traditional bronze and 316 stainless steel. With higher levels of chromium, nickel, molybdenum, and nitrogen, Duplex 2205 delivers:
- Exceptional corrosion resistance, even in saltwater environments.
- High strength and fatigue resistance, ensuring long-term reliability under pressure.
- Superior resistance to pitting, crevice corrosion, and stress corrosion cracking, common challenges in marine systems.
- Reduced galvanic corrosion, outperforming bronze in environments where sulphides are present.
This metallurgical advantage means your strainer resists corrosion longer, maintains its integrity over years of use, and requires less maintenance—saving both time and cost over the life of the vessel.
Engineered for Performance and Ease of Use
Arctic Steel strainers are not just built tough—they’re built smart. Each model is precision-cast as a one-piece body, eliminating welds that can corrode or weaken over time. The offset outlet design creates a natural swirl action that improves water flow, scavenges air quickly, and optimizes filtration through the full height of the rugged internal basket.
Maintenance is effortless thanks to several thoughtful features:
- Electro-polished finish that enhances surface purity and provides a rich, protective chromium film.
- Five-wingnut lid system for tool-free access—safe, quick, and easy.
- Optional clear polycarbonate lid for instant visual inspection.
- Cast anode connection point to combat galvanic corrosion and extend component life.
Built for Every Application
From luxury yachts to commercial vessels, Arctic Steel strainers are ideal for:
- Marine engines
- Generators
- Air conditioning and cooling systems
- Seawater pumps and filtration systems
Models are available in both Side In-Side Out (SISO) and Bottom In-Side Out (BISO) configurations, providing flexible installation options for different system layouts.
A Smarter Investment in Marine Protection
Choosing an Arctic Steel strainer means investing in peace of mind—knowing your vessel is equipped with a filtration system designed for the world’s harshest conditions. With its blend of innovative engineering, superior materials, and thoughtful design, Arctic Steel delivers performance you can count on for years to come.
