Quick overview

  • For the 6 inch trap Sized for the larger 6 inch strainer pot rather than the small trap basket.
  • Basket dimensions Measures 5-1/2 inches by 7-3/8 inches, so you can check it against the pot before ordering.
  • Max-E-Glas and Dura-Glas Listed on the Max-E-Glas and Dura-Glas pump parts breakdown.
  • Protects the impeller The basket is the last thing between leaves, hair and pebbles and the impeller vanes.
  • Cracks cost flow A split basket lets debris straight through and also lets water bypass the mesh, so the pump loses prime more easily.
  • Drop in replacement Lifts straight out of the pot and the new one drops into the same seat.

Product details

The Pentair 16920-0017 is the strainer basket for a 6 inch pump trap. The basket itself measures 5-1/2 inches by 7-3/8 inches, and it appears on the Max-E-Glas and Dura-Glas pump parts breakdown.

What the basket does

Everything the skimmer misses arrives at the pump. The strainer basket catches leaves, hair, acorns and small stones before they reach the impeller, and it is the cheapest part in the whole wet end. When it splits, the debris goes straight through and the impeller pays for it.

Check the trap size

This basket is for the 6 inch trap. The dimensions above are the fastest way to confirm the fit, so measure the basket that is in the pot now before ordering.

Keeping prime

A basket that is cracked or has lost its shape also lets water slip past the mesh instead of through it. Pumps in that state are harder to prime and lose flow faster as the basket fills, so a basket that no longer sits square in the pot is worth changing on sight.

Questions and answers

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

What size trap does this fit?
The 6 inch trap. Confirm your pot is the 6 inch version, since the smaller trap takes a different basket.
How big is the basket?
5-1/2 inches by 7-3/8 inches.
Which pumps use it?
It appears on the Max-E-Glas and Dura-Glas pump parts breakdown.
Do I have to replace a cracked basket?
Yes. A cracked or collapsed basket lets debris reach the impeller and lets water bypass the mesh, which makes priming harder and shortens the life of the wet end.
