Frequently Asked Questions

Why can’t I see an intake screen on this pump?

The intake screen on Franklin Electric FS Series submersible well pumps is internal, not an external wrap-around screen. This internal design helps protect the pump and supports efficient operation. Because the intake screen is built into the motor bracket, it is not visible from the outside unless the pump is partially disassembled.
