Which port is used to inspect screens for rocks or debris?

Explanation:
Accessing the intake is where you check the suction screen or basket for debris. The intake port is the point where the pump connects to the water source, and it has a screen to keep rocks, leaves, and other debris from entering the pump. When you inspect this screen, you remove the screen or access the basket to look for obstructions and clean out any rocks or debris, ensuring the pump can prime and draw water smoothly. The other ports are for delivering water (master stream, booster line, or preconnect) and aren’t used to inspect or service the suction screen.
