Description
Stainless Steel Pump Stick Strainer with Side Draw Design – Easy Installation, Prevents Clogs, Enhanced Water Removal, Ideal for Professional Pumping Solutions
Product Overview
Reed makes six screens, strainers, and filters for the Pump Stick. The Reed CPRCSTR dome strainer is the only Pump Stick strainer with a side draw design: the domed center forces water intake through the sides, not the bottom. This recessed center dome strainer sits flat on a surface without suction-locking. Stainless steel with 3/16" holes blocks debris while allowing water to flow.
Key Features of Reed CPRCSTR Dome Strainer
Side Draw Design
The CPRCSTR pulls water from the sides, not the bottom. This side draw design prevents suction-locking when the Pump Stick strainer sits flat on a pool bottom, slab, or tank floor.
Stainless Steel Build
The Reed Pump Stick dome strainer is made from stainless steel, more durable than the plastic screens in the CP15 lineup. The 3/16" diameter holes filter out debris while allowing water and fine sediment to pass through.
Snap-In End Cap Fit
This Pump Stick CP15 strainer fits inside the molded end cap at the bottom of the pump. No tools needed: press the stainless steel Pump Stick strainer into the cap, and it locks in place.

Applications
- Construction dewatering. Pump out trenches, footings, and excavations where mud and gravel settle on the bottom. The side draw design keeps the strainer working flat on a slab without locking down.
- Flooded basements and crawl spaces. Remove standing water from concrete or tile floors. The dome shape prevents the strainer from sealing against the flat surface as water levels drop.
- Tank and vessel cleanouts. Drain holding tanks, totes, and storage vessels with sediment or debris on the bottom. Stainless steel handles repeated use without cracking.
- Pond and pool winterization. Lower water levels in small ponds or pools during seasonal maintenance. The 3/16" holes block leaves and pebbles while passing water freely.

Frequently Asked Questions
What strainer fits the Reed Pump Stick?
The Reed CPRCSTR dome strainer fits all Pump Stick CP15 models. It presses into the molded end cap without tools. Other options include the CPMSTR marine strainer, coarse/medium/fine screens, and the CP15FILTER felt filter.
CPRCSTR vs CPMSTR: what is the difference?
The CPRCSTR has a domed center with 3/16" holes and uses side draw to pull water laterally. The CPMSTR marine strainer has larger openings that block particles over 0.250" and is recommended for clean water sources like pools and spas. Choose the CPRCSTR for construction and debris-heavy sites.
How does the Pump Stick dome strainer work?
The domed center creates a recessed center dome strainer profile that forces water to enter from the sides. This side draw design prevents the strainer from vacuum-locking to flat surfaces, so the Pump Stick keeps flowing even when the intake sits on the bottom of a tank or trench.
What is the best strainer for Reed Pump Stick?
It depends on the job. The CPRCSTR dome strainer handles construction sites and general debris with its stainless steel Pump Stick strainer build. For clean water (pools, spas), use the CPMSTR marine strainer. For fine particles like coffee grounds, the CP15MEDSCRN medium screen blocks anything over .034".
Reed Pump Stick strainer vs screen: what should I choose?
Strainers (CPRCSTR and CPMSTR) are stainless steel with rigid construction. Screens (CP15CRSCRN, CP15MEDSCRN, CP15FINESCRN) are flat plastic discs that fit the same end cap. The Pump Stick CP15 strainer is better for heavy debris; screens are replaceable and sold in multi-packs for lighter filtration.
