Active Aqua Screen Fitting, 1", Pack of 10

Keep Growing Media Out of Your Pump and Reservoir

Loose growing media like LECA and grow rocks have a way of finding their way into drain lines, where they clog fittings, jam pumps, and turn routine maintenance into a teardown job.

Active Aqua's 1" Screen Fitting installs in place of a standard fill/drain fitting and adds a screened barrier that lets nutrient solution flow freely during flooding while blocking media from washing into the pump and reservoir during drainage.

That single screen does double duty — it protects expensive pump components from grit and debris, and it keeps your reservoir clean enough that solution stays consistent from one flood cycle to the next.

Key Features & Benefits

• Screened design filters drainage — blocks loose growing media — including LECA and grow rocks — from washing into the pump and reservoir during the drain cycle.
• Free flow during flooding — lets nutrient solution move into the table at full rate, so the screen protects the system without slowing down watering.
• Sized for 1" tubing and fittings — drops directly into standard flood-and-drain setups without adapters.
• Pack of 10 — covers multiple tables, lets you standardize on one part, and keeps spares on hand for quick swaps.
• Reduces pump wear and clogging — helps extend pump life by keeping debris away from internal components.
• Simple threaded installation — installs the same way as a standard fill/drain fitting, with no extra steps or tools.

Who Should Use the Screen Fitting

This fitting is built for growers using LECA, grow rocks, or other loose media in flood tables, anyone who's dealt with a clogged pump or gritty reservoir, and commercial operations that want to protect equipment and cut down on cleaning and maintenance time.

Protecting Your System From Media Migration

Install a screen fitting at every drain point on tables that use loose media, and pair it with regular reservoir checks during the first few cycles to confirm the screen is catching debris as expected. Growers who've fought recurring pump clogs often find that switching to screened fittings is the single change that keeps the system running clean cycle after cycle.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the screen on this fitting actually block?

It's designed to stop loose growing media — particularly LECA and grow rocks — from washing out of the table and into your pump and reservoir during drainage.

Will the screen slow down how fast my table floods?

No — the screened design is built to let solution flow freely into the table during the flood cycle, so fill times stay the same as with a standard fitting.

Does this fitting install differently than a standard fill/drain fitting?

No — it threads into the table's drain port the same way, so swapping to a screened fitting takes no extra steps or tools.

How many fittings come in a pack?

Each pack includes 10 screen fittings, enough to outfit multiple tables or keep spares on hand for fast replacements.

Why does keeping media out of the pump matter?

Grit and debris in a pump accelerate wear, cause clogs, and can lead to premature failure — a screen fitting is a simple way to head off all three.
