Product details

The Pentair 074162Z is the strainer basket for the IntelliFlo3 VSF 1.5 HP pool pump. It is the genuine Pentair part, shaped for that specific pump pot rather than a generic basket trimmed to fit.

What it protects

Everything the skimmer misses ends up in the pump pot. The basket holds leaves, twigs and grit so they never reach the impeller. When the basket splits, that debris passes straight through and lodges in the impeller vanes, which drops flow and puts load on the shaft seal.

When to replace it

Baskets get brittle with age, heat and pool chemistry, and a hairline crack is easy to miss. If the basket flexes, has a broken rim, or lets visible debris into the pot below it, change it. Keeping a spare on the shelf means a cracked basket never turns into an impeller job.

Questions and answers

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

Which pump does this basket fit?
The Pentair IntelliFlo3 VSF 1.5 HP pump.
Is it a genuine Pentair part?
Yes. It is the Pentair OEM strainer basket, part number 074162Z.
Will it fit the 3 HP IntelliFlo3 VSF?
This listing is the basket for the 1.5 HP model. Confirm the horsepower on your pump label before ordering.
Why does a cracked basket matter?
Debris that gets past a split basket goes straight to the impeller, where it blocks the vanes and can damage the seal. The basket is the cheapest part in that chain.
