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.
