Why It Matters
Debris such as leaves, sticks, or large particles can damage the impeller or clog the pump, reducing flow and potentially causing costly repairs. Installing a proper strainer basket like the SPX2800M prevents that debris from entering the pump — helping maintain efficient filtration, protecting pump internals, and prolonging overall system lifespan.
Maintenance & Installation Tips
- Install the basket directly into the pump’s strainer housing, ensuring it seats properly before sealing the lid.
- Remove and rinse the basket regularly — frequency depends on pool environment (e.g., weekly in leaf-heavy seasons, monthly in dry periods).
- Inspect for cracks or damage during each cleaning and replace if any wear is found to maintain proper debris protection.
