This precision-manufactured component serves as the critical first line of defense in your circulation system, protecting valuable pump components while ensuring optimal water flow in medium to large pool installations.

High-Performance Protection for Popular Pump Series

The 5P4R and 5P6R series represent some of Sta-Rite’s most successful and widely-used pump platforms, known for their reliability, performance, and durability in residential and light commercial applications. This specialized basket is engineered specifically for these pump models, providing enhanced debris capture capacity and superior protection for the robust internal components that make these pumps industry favorites.

The larger capacity design reflects the enhanced performance characteristics of the 5P4R and 5P6R pumps, which typically handle higher flow rates and serve larger pool systems than standard residential pumps. This increased capacity requires a correspondingly robust strainer basket that can handle greater debris loads while maintaining optimal water circulation.

Enhanced Capacity Design

Increased Volume and Capacity

With dimensions of 0.15 x 0.15 x 0.19 meters and a volume of 0.004 cubic meters, this basket provides significantly more debris storage capacity than standard pump baskets. The enhanced size allows for longer operating periods between cleaning cycles while maintaining optimal water flow.

High-Flow Optimization

The basket’s design accommodates the higher flow rates typical of 5P4R and 5P6R pumps, ensuring that the enhanced circulation capabilities of these pumps are not compromised by strainer basket restrictions. The optimized opening pattern maintains maximum flow while providing effective debris capture.

Extended Service Intervals

The larger capacity means less frequent cleaning requirements during normal operation, reducing maintenance demands while ensuring continuous protection for expensive pump components.
