Stainless Steel Marine Strainer for Clean Water Transfer
Overview
The Reed Pump Stick is a cordless water transfer pump used in pools, spas, flooded basements, and marine bilges. The Reed CPMSTR is a stainless steel marine strainer for the Pump Stick that fits inside the end cap and blocks particles larger than 0.250 inches. It is the coarsest Pump Stick strainer option, allowing maximum flow in clean water environments where fine filtration is unnecessary.

Key Features
- Stainless steel construction resists corrosion in pool, spa, and marine environments where the Pump Stick strainer stays submerged in treated or saltwater during operation.
- The 0.250-inch mesh is the coarsest Pump Stick screen option. It blocks pea gravel and larger debris while allowing maximum water flow, reducing the need to stop and clear the screen mid-job.
- The Reed CPMSTR installs inside the Pump Stick end cap without external clamps or fasteners. Push the screen into the cap before attaching it to the pump body.
- With a marine strainer for Pump Stick installed, the pump removes water down to within 1/4 inch of the surface. This makes the CPMSTR effective for shallow-water evacuations in bilges, pool covers, and spa basins.
- At 0.03 lbs, the strainer adds virtually no weight to the pump setup. Carry a spare in the Pump Stick case or toolbox alongside other Pump Stick accessories.
Pump Stick Filtration Options
Reed offers five Pump Stick filtration options, ranging from coarse debris protection to fine particulate removal. The CPMSTR is the coarsest marine strainer for Pump Stick in the lineup. Use the comparison below to decide whether the CPMSTR vs CPRCSTR or another Pump Stick screen fits your application.
| Model | Type | Filters Out | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| CPMSTR | Marine Strainer | > 0.250" (pea gravel) | Pools, spas, marine bilges |
| CPRCSTR | Domed Center Strainer | Coarse debris | General clean water with light debris |
| CP15CRSCRN | Coarse Screen | > 0.094" (mustard seed) | Rainwater, mild flooding |
| CP15MEDSCRN | Medium Screen | Medium particles | Mixed conditions |
| CP15FILTER | Fine Filter | > 100 microns (flour size) | Construction runoff, silty water |
Coarser screens allow higher flow rates but let smaller particles through. Finer filters catch more debris but require more frequent cleaning during use. In pool and marine environments, the CPMSTR stainless steel strainer provides the best balance of flow and protection. All screens and strainers in the Pump Stick accessories lineup install inside the same end cap, so switching takes seconds on site.
Applications

Frequently Asked Questions
What strainer fits the Reed Pump Stick?
The Reed CPMSTR marine strainer fits all Pump Stick CP15 models. Reed also makes a domed center strainer (CPRCSTR), coarse screen, medium screen, and fine filter for different water conditions. All Pump Stick strainer options use the same end cap mounting.
What is the difference between the CPMSTR and CPRCSTR?
The CPMSTR is a flat stainless steel strainer that blocks particles larger than 0.250 inches. The CPRCSTR is a domed center strainer that handles light debris in general clean water tasks. Comparing CPMSTR vs CPRCSTR, choose the CPMSTR for pools and marine use, and the CPRCSTR for broader utility work.
How do you install a Pump Stick strainer?
Place the stainless steel strainer inside the Pump Stick end cap with the mesh facing inward. Snap or press the cap onto the pump body. Check the screen periodically during use and remove any buildup to maintain flow. No tools are required for installation or removal.
Can the Reed CPMSTR be used in muddy water?
No. The Reed CPMSTR is a marine strainer for Pump Stick intended for clean water transfer only. Mud, silt, and heavy sediment will pass through the 0.250-inch mesh and can reduce pump performance. For water with fine debris, use the CP15FILTER felt filter or the CP15CRSCRN coarse screen instead.
What is the best screen for Pump Stick pool draining?
For pool water removal, the Reed CPMSTR is the best screen for Pump Stick because pool water is treated and contains minimal debris. The 0.250-inch stainless steel mesh provides protection without restricting flow. The pump removes water down to 1/4 inch of the surface with this water pump strainer installed.
