Description
Hydrostatic Test Pump Strainer for Reed EHTP, DPHTP, and HTP Pumps
Product Overview
Rust flakes, grit, and sediment in the water supply can damage piston seals and valves inside a hydrostatic test pump. The Reed HTPSTRAINER is a hydrostatic test pump strainer that screws onto the input hose and catches debris before it reaches the pump. This test pump strainer assembly fits every Reed hydrostatic test pump in production, connecting through a standard 3/4" garden hose thread (GHT).

Key Features
- Debris Filtration for Pump Protection. The Reed HTPSTRAINER input hose strainer catches rust particles, grit, and other contaminants at the water intake point. Blocking these contaminants before they enter the pump prevents wear on the piston, check valves, and internal seals.
- Screw-On, Tool-Free Cleaning. The strainer threads onto the input hose with a 3/4" GHT connection. When the mesh fills with debris, unscrew the strainer for EHTP500 or any compatible pump, rinse it clean, and reattach. No wrenches or disassembly needed.
- Universal Fit Across All Reed Test Pumps. One hydrostatic test pump strainer works with every current Reed model: the EHTP500 and EHTP500C electric pumps, the DPHTP500 drill-powered pump, and the HTP500 and HTP1000 manual pumps. Crews running multiple Reed pumps need only one strainer part number.
- Standard Garden Hose Thread Connection. The 3/4" GHT fitting matches Reed's 10-foot input hose and any standard garden hose threaded supply line. No adapters or specialty fittings required between the water source and the pump.
Reed Test Pump Compatibility: One Strainer for Every Model
Reed manufactures five hydrostatic test pump models across three power types. The Reed HTPSTRAINER fits all of them through the same 3/4" GHT input connection. This table shows which pump each buyer may already own and confirms that one test pump strainer assembly covers the full Reed lineup.
| Pump Model | Power Type | Max PSI | HTPSTRAINER Compatible |
|---|---|---|---|
| EHTP500 | Electric (120V) | 500 | Yes |
| EHTP500C | Electric with Cage (120V) | 500 | Yes |
| DPHTP500 | Drill-Powered | 500 | Yes |
| HTP500 | Manual | 500 | Yes |
| HTP1000 | Manual | 1,000 | Yes |
The full Reed EHTP500 replacement parts list includes several other items under the same EHTP/DPHTP parts catalog: the EHTPOUTHOSE (15-foot high-pressure output hose), EHTPFLT (replacement filter assembly), EHTPBH (6-inch bypass hose), HTPWS3 (washer with screen, pack of 3), and EHTPSKHW (seal kit). The input hose strainer is the first line of defense in the water intake path, catching coarse debris before it reaches the finer internal filter.
Applications
- Replacing a worn or clogged input hose strainer on any Reed EHTP, DPHTP, or HTP hydrostatic test pump
- Adding a strainer for EHTP500 or DPHTP500 pumps when drawing water from open containers, ponds, or hydrants with sediment
- Keeping a spare hydrostatic test pump strainer in the service truck so field crews can swap a clogged unit without delaying a pressure test
- Municipal and fire protection technicians running pressure tests on water mains, standpipes, and sprinkler systems where the water source carries rust or particulate
- Contractors sourcing hydrostatic test pump accessories as part of initial pump setup or seasonal maintenance kits

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a hydrostatic test pump strainer do?
A hydrostatic test pump strainer filters debris from the water supply before it enters the pump. The Reed HTPSTRAINER catches rust, grit, and sediment at the input hose, protecting the piston seals, check valves, and internal components from abrasive damage.
How to clean a hydrostatic test pump strainer
Unscrew the Reed HTPSTRAINER from the input hose by hand. Rinse the mesh under running water or tap it against a hard surface to dislodge trapped debris. Reattach by threading it back onto the 3/4" GHT connection. No tools required.
What is the difference between a hydrostatic test pump strainer vs filter?
The HTPSTRAINER is a mesh strainer on the input hose that catches coarse debris like rust flakes and grit. The EHTPFLT (Part #98169) is a finer replacement filter assembly inside the pump. Both are separate Reed hydrostatic test pump parts that work together in the intake path.
Which Reed test pumps use the HTPSTRAINER?
The Reed HTPSTRAINER fits all five current models: EHTP500, EHTP500C, DPHTP500, HTP500, and HTP1000. All share the same 3/4" GHT input connection. One strainer part number covers the entire Reed hydrostatic test pump lineup.
Why is my hydrostatic test pump losing pressure?
A clogged input hose strainer is one of the most common causes. When debris blocks the mesh, water flow drops and the pump cannot build or hold pressure. Remove the strainer, clean it, and test again. If pressure loss continues, check the EHTPFLT internal filter and the seal kit (EHTPSKHW).
