Product Overview
This is a genuine replacement strainer for Polar commercial ice machines, specifically designed for models CH478, CH479, G620, T315, and UA037. It acts as the primary filter for the water inlet, protecting the internal components from debris, limescale, and other impurities. If your ice production has slowed or the water flow seems restricted, a clogged or damaged strainer is the most likely cause.

Expert Review
If your Polar ice maker is struggling, making straining noises or producing cubes much slower than usual, don't panic. More often than not, the culprit is a clogged water inlet strainer. This little part is the first line of defence against limescale and grit. Swapping it out is a two-minute job that can get your ice production back to full speed in an instant.
Installation & Maintenance
- Always turn off water and power supplies first.
- Unscrew the old strainer from the inlet hose.
- Check for debris in the hose before fitting.
- Inspect and clean your strainer every 3 months.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I know if my strainer needs replacing?
A: A significant drop in ice production, visible damage to the mesh, or heavy, stubborn limescale buildup are key signs it's time for a new one.
Q: Can I just clean my old strainer instead of replacing it?
A: While cleaning is good for maintenance, a new strainer ensures optimal filtration and flow, especially if the original mesh is damaged or permanently clogged.
Q: Is this part difficult to install?
A: No, it is a very simple replacement. Just ensure the water supply is turned off before you begin.
