Not sure where Joe is, but that would help. I just had to clean out my refrigeration system again - Zebra Mussels. There is nothing but brown scum in the strainer, because I have moth balls in there, and nothing lives there anymore, but the Zebra fry pass right through the 50 micron strainer and attach in the Shurflo pump, where all they have to do is just sit there and let the water pass over them. Apparently my monthly flush of chlorine is not often enough. I need to put some type of injector in the line!

In both cases I was able to remove the water line and flush out whatever was in there. There is a 90 degree elbow threaded into the seacock and Im thinking thats where its clogging but I�m not sure. I am in the process of adding a raw water strainer (not sure why it didn�t have one) and was thinking that removing the elbow and adding a straight nipple would help prevent the clogs. While I�m at it, does anyone have any recommendation on what strainer to buy? I am looking at the Groco ones but they have several different ones that all fit 3/4� NPT.
