PSA: A job in the Everglades three years back made me rethink pump strainers for good.
We were clearing a choked channel near Flamingo, and after pulling up a solid mat of water hyacinth roots that had slipped past the guard, I saw how a half inch gap can cost you a whole afternoon's dredge time.

That part about a half inch gap costing an afternoon is so true. I read a maintenance guide that called those gaps "invitations for trouble" and it stuck with me. You just can't cheap out on the strainer.

My old kitchen sink had a strainer with a bad seal that led to a leak under the cabinet. The repair bill was way more than a decent strainer would have cost. That guide is right, those small gaps are just asking for a huge headache.
