Product details

The Pentair 357227 is the replacement lid for Pentair and Sta-Rite OptiFlo pumps. It is a new OEM part.

Why the lid matters

The strainer pot lid is a pressure seal, not a cosmetic cover. When it cracks, warps or no longer seats evenly, the pump draws air at the pot instead of water, and the symptom on the deck is a pump that will not hold prime and a pot that never stays full. Lids also cloud and craze with age and sun, which is a smaller problem but a real one, because a lid you cannot see through hides a basket that is packed with leaves.

Before you order

This is the lid on its own. Look at the lid o-ring while the old lid is off, since a flattened or cracked seal will let air past a brand new lid. Our source notes the lid may suit other Pentair pumps but does not list them, so order against the part number.

Questions and answers

What people ask about this product, answered by our pool techs.

Which pumps does this lid fit?
It is the replacement lid for the Pentair and Sta-Rite OptiFlo pumps. Our source adds that it may fit other Pentair models but does not name them, so match the part number rather than rely on that.
Does the o-ring come with it?
This listing is the lid. The facts do not state that an o-ring is included, so plan on inspecting the existing lid seal and ordering one separately if it is flat or cracked.
My pump will not hold prime. Could it be the lid?
It often is. A cracked, warped or badly seated lid lets the pump draw air at the strainer pot, which shows up as a pot that will not stay full and a pump that loses prime.
Is it a genuine part?
Yes. It is a new OEM part, Pentair number 357227.
