Product details

The Pentair 355901 is the stainless steel strainer basket for Challenger 5 HP High Flow inground pumps and the AFP-180 Waterfall Specialty Pump.

What it does

The strainer basket sits inside the pump strainer housing, ahead of the impeller. It catches leaves, hair and other debris so they are stopped in the basket instead of reaching the impeller, and it can be lifted out and emptied. This one is a heavy duty stainless steel basket.

Size and fit

The basket stands 11-1/4 in. tall. The top lip is 8-1/4 in. in diameter, and the body below the lip is 5-3/4 in. in diameter, not including the lip. It fits Pentair Challenger 5 HP High Flow inground pumps, including the 3F 50 Hz and 5F 60 Hz versions, and the AFP-180 Waterfall Specialty Pump.

Before you order

Check the model name on your pump before ordering and compare it to the list above. This is the basket only and is sold individually.
