NOTE

It is important that the O-ring be kept clean and well lubricated. We recommend a silicone base lubricant for best results.

The Pump Strainer Basket

This unit, sometimes referred to as the ‘Hair and Lint Pot’, is the unit in front of the volute. Inside the chamber is the basket which must be kept clean of leaves and debris at all times. View basket through the ‘See Through Lid’ to inspect for leaves and debris.

Regardless of the length of time between filter cleaning, it is most important to visually inspect the hair and lint pot basket at least once a week. A dirty basket will reduce the efficiency of the filter and heater and also put an abnormal stress on the pump motor which would result in a costly repair bill.
