RE: do you need a strainer

SIZE counts , the surface area will get plugged , plastic bag , jellyfish or dead leaves in the water.

More surface area the longer it may take , till zero flow .

Also the large filters can move the water a bit slower , allowing sand and silt to drop, requiring fewer rubber impeller changes .
