It is the genuine Pentair part.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat the volute does\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe volute is the molded body that surrounds the impeller. The impeller flings water outward, the volute catches it in a widening passage and turns that velocity into pressure, and the discharge port sends it on to the filter. Because every drop the pump moves passes through it, a damaged volute shows up immediately as lost flow, a leak at the split line, or a pump that will not prime.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen you need one\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVolutes crack from freeze damage, from running dry, and from over tightened clamps. A split or warped housing cannot be sealed back up, so the fix is a new one. This is the housing by itself, so plan to reuse or separately order the impeller, the gaskets and the strainer pot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the black version.
