SW/SWX/ESW/RSW is Fluidtrol's own 'most popular' line, 30+ years in production, purpose-built for pool/aquarium service. Duplex strainers are explicitly named for water parks, commercial pools and aquariums — zero-downtime cleaning is the real aquatic driver.

A single-chamber basket strainer forces a pool, aquarium, or water park recirculation loop offline every time the basket needs cleaning; Fluidtrol's duplex configuration keeps one chamber in service while the other is serviced, avoiding a full shutdown of live-animal or public-swimming water.
Aquatic basket strainers aren't just smaller industrial strainers — the SW/SWX/ESW/RSW line carries pressure-vessel welding standards (AWS D1.1/D1.3, ASME B31.4/B31.9) because a strainer failure in a public pool or aquarium recirculation loop is a life-safety event, not just a maintenance one.
