This 3/4" strainer intake is an essential component for Dometic RV water heaters, protecting your heating system from sediment, debris, and mineral buildup. Installed on the cold water inlet line, this strainer prevents contaminants from damaging the heater's internal components and extends the life of your water heating system. If your water heater is running slowly or showing reduced flow, a clogged or missing strainer intake may be the culprit.
