Product Overview
The Pentair 16920-0017 Max-E-Glas strainer basket is a critical protective component used inside the pump trap housing of compatible Pentair pool pumps. Installed beneath the pump lid, the basket captures large debris such as leaves, insects, and dirt before the water reaches the pump impeller. This helps prevent clogging and protects the pump from damage while maintaining efficient circulation.
Designed for pumps with a 6-inch trap body, including Dura-Glas and Max-E-Glas models, the basket provides a precise fit and reliable debris collection. Regular cleaning of the strainer basket helps maintain proper pump performance and prolongs the life of the pool circulation system.
