Description

The OptiFlo Pump Pot (SKU 357228Z) is the essential strainer housing (pump pot) component for OptiFlo / Sta-Rite aboveground pump systems. Crafted from durable, UV-resistant plastic, it resists degradation in harsh pool environments. It retains the original form factor and mounting geometry to ensure full compatibility with existing pumps. Internal drain plugs enable controlled water removal during maintenance, minimizing mess and downtime. This OEM housing is also listed in Pentair’s official parts catalog for the OptiFlo pump. :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}

Pro Tip

Replace the O-ring seal at the same time to avoid future leaks — OptiFlo O-Ring (e.g. part 2-357) is commonly cross-sold. :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}

Installation Tips

Always disconnect power before servicing. Ensure pot and O-ring surfaces are clean and free of debris before reassembly. Tighten the clamp evenly to avoid distortion. Confirm drain plugs are seated. Use thread sealant or Teflon tape only where specified, avoiding sealing surfaces with O-ring contact.
