It is the genuine Pentair part.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCheck the clamp, not the model name\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis lid is only compatible with the older metal clamp style assembly. It will not work with the newer cam and ramp lock ring. That distinction matters more than the model badge on the pump, because the same families were built both ways across the changeover. Look at how the lid is held down before you order: a metal band around the lid means this part, a plastic twist ring means the later design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy it is worth replacing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLexan is tough and stays clear, which is the point of a see through lid: you can check the strainer basket at a glance instead of shutting the pump down to look. Over years of sun and heat the lid crazes, warps or cracks, and once it stops sealing evenly against the o-ring the pump pulls air, loses prime and runs noisy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReplace the cover o-ring at the same time. It is a separate part, it hardens with age, and a tired o-ring produces the same symptoms as a failed lid.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pentair","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48627716554964,"sku":"PUR-101-3351","price":51.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/default_b76681d9-4ade-4bb4-9981-14a8ae6fe47b.png?v=1788727058","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/cover-lexan-wfe-aq-older-metal-clamp-style","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
