What’s included

• Basket – replace worn or clogged intake with a sturdy, replaceable pump basket that shields the impeller from debris.

Why this kit matters

• Engineered specifically for Poolrite SQ and PM pump families, ensuring a precise fit and a seal that generic parts can’t guarantee.
• Replacing the basket, lid, and O-ring helps maintain steady water flow, protects the pump from debris damage, and reduces the risk of leaks around the lid.
• A cost-effective maintenance solution that restores efficiency and prolongs the life of your pool system without a full pump replacement.

Practical use cases

• Seasonal maintenance: swap in the kit to restore prime and consistent suction for cleaner, clearer water.
• Retrofitting older units: breathe new life into aging SQ/PM models with a targeted replacement kit designed for their specific configuration.
• DIY-friendly upkeep: simple part replacement that most pool owners can handle, avoiding unnecessary service calls.

Expert tips

• Check the O-ring for signs of wear, flattening, or nicks at installation and replace if needed to maintain a reliable seal.
• Ensure the lid seats evenly and fully to prevent leaks and keep the pump primed during operation.
• Store spare O-rings away from direct sunlight and pool chemicals to extend their lifespan.
