Kochek Company, Connecticut-based makers of high quality water flow products and fire connections, has observed increased demand for its unique, long-handled ice strainer attachment that simplifies water drafting from frozen ponds. Essential equipment for firefighters in colder climates, the Kochek ice strainer meets the industry’s need for compact, efficient straining devices that stay level and maximize water flow. Available in sizes from four to six inches and in NH, Storz, and Camlock styles, Kochek’s ice strainers feature a variable depth gauge. They attach easily to the end of suction hose then turn 90 degrees to allow the strainer to drop through a hole in the ice. Effectively blocking debris from entering the hose or pump, the product’s design also ensures that the strainer remains below ice level.
Kochek’s strainers are constructed of lightweight aluminum yet are durable to withstand harsh winter conditions while delivering maximum water flow capacity. Other products in the line include self-leveling floating strainers, barrel strainers, and low-level strainers.
