Raw water strainers - Vetus vs Seaflo

[MikeBz]

Vetus Type 330 and Seaflo SWF001 look very similar but there is a big price difference. Is the Vetus worth 3 times the price?

Don't know about the SWF001 but Vetus 330 appears to be being superceded by the 470 Vetus 470 Cooling Water Filter Grey | Waveinn
Which has a much better lid sealing mechanism so the lid is much easier to remove than the 330 which often jams on and needs a specially made tool to grip and unscrew it. I have the 470 and very pleased with it.

No, I don't think I want to save 26%, thank you.

I've got a Seaflo job for one engine and a smaller anonymous one for the other. Both do their jobs, so I know what I'll be buying id I need to replace one.
