Quick overview
- Square profile This is a square ring, not a round o-ring, so a generic round seal will not seat in the groove.
- Exact size 3-1/8 in. outside diameter, 2-3/4 in. inside diameter.
- Fits four pump families Pinnacle High Flow in-ground, SuperFlo, SuperMax and Challenger High Flow.
- Seals the diffuser Sits between the diffuser and the housing so water is forced through the impeller rather than around it.
- Restores lost pressure A flattened diffuser ring lets water bypass the impeller and the pump loses head.
- Lubricate on install A light coat of silicone o-ring lube helps it seat and keeps it from rolling out of the groove.

Product details
The Pentair 355030 is the high flow diffuser o-ring, a square profile ring measuring 3-1/8 in. outside diameter by 2-3/4 in. inside diameter. It is the genuine Pentair part.
Square, not round
The groove in these pumps is cut for a square cross section. A round o-ring of similar diameter will sit proud, roll under load, and never seal properly, so it is worth ordering the correct part rather than substituting from a drawer of assorted rings.
Which pumps
Pentair Pinnacle High Flow in-ground pumps, SuperFlo, Challenger High Flow and the Sta-Rite SuperMax.
What it does
The diffuser sits over the impeller and turns velocity into pressure. This ring seals it to the housing so all the flow is forced through the impeller eye. When it hardens and flattens, water bypasses the impeller, and the pump loses head while the motor sounds exactly as it always has.
Fitting
Clean the groove, fit the new ring dry into a clean seat, and give it a thin film of silicone o-ring lubricant so it stays put as the pump goes back together.
