Pentair Strainer Pot Kit for IntelliFlo3 VSF 3HP Pool Pump | 356175

The Pentair 356175Z Strainer Pot Kit is a genuine OEM replacement for the IntelliFlo3 VSF 3.0 HP variable speed and flow pool pump, supplying the complete strainer housing that captures leaves and debris before they reach the impeller. Molded in almond to match the original pump finish, it pairs a see-through cover with a lid O-ring for a leak-free seal and at-a-glance basket checks. Use it to replace a cracked, clouded, or leaking strainer pot and restore proper prime and flow. Also referenced under part numbers 35-102-3172, PEN356175Z, and PUR-101-3643.

Highlights

• Genuine Pentair OEM Assembly: Factory-engineered 356175Z housing built specifically for the IntelliFlo3 VSF 3.0 HP pump, ensuring exact fit against the pump's volute and seal surfaces.
• See-Through Cover for Fast Inspection: The transparent lid lets you check the strainer basket for debris without disassembly, so you know when it's time to empty it.
• Chemical- and Weather-Resistant Build: Molded from pool-grade material that withstands chlorinated water, UV exposure, and everyday suction-side pressure for long service life.
• Sealed, Leak-Free Operation: The included lid O-ring seats against the pot rim to hold prime and prevent air leaks that cause loss of flow.
• Restores Prime and Flow: Replacing a worn or cracked strainer pot re-establishes a tight suction path, helping the variable-speed pump reach and hold its programmed flow rates.
