The Fol Da Tank Float Dock Strainer is a self leveling floating strainer that allows you to draft water from ponds and streams. 

Float dock strainers are typically used by fire fighters, mining and construction applications that require a reliable source of water and the ability to filter out debris from that water source.

Use the float dock strainer to efficiently draft water in both shallow and deep water sources. The strainer will draft in as little as 5 inches of water.

The float dock strainer screens out debris and other material from the pond and streams that will damage equipment.
