Product Overview

The 356175Z volute assembly kit is a genuine OEM replacement designed for the IntelliFlo 3 variable speed/variable flow pool pump. This kit includes the strainer pot body, lid, locking ring, O-ring, and hardware needed to restore proper suction, sealing and debris capture in the pump’s hydraulic platform.

Ideal For

• Service technicians repairing an IntelliFlo 3 pump where the strainer pot is cracked, leaking or otherwise compromised.

• Pool owners whose pump is showing suction loss, frequent priming issues or debris bypassing the basket.

• Installations where the hydraulic platform remains in place but the volute/strainer pot requires replacement—saving the cost of full pump replacement.

• Maintenance programs seeking to refresh the pump’s sealing and flow integrity for improved longevity and performance.

Key Features

• OEM Certified Assembly – designed specifically for the IntelliFlo 3 pump series, ensuring correct fit and performance.

• Complete Kit – includes body, lid, locking ring, O-ring and mounting hardware for full installation.

• Strainer Pot Design – captures debris and prevents entry of large particles into the impeller, helping maintain flow and reduce wear.

• Sealed Construction – locking ring and O-ring provide leak-free operation under suction conditions.

• Cost-Effective Repair – restores hydraulic integrity without full pump replacement when the motor and other internals are still good.

Customer-Facing Q&A

Q: How do I know if I need this volute assembly kit?
A: If your pump is leaking around the strainer pot, losing prime, or you see debris entering the pump housing despite a clean basket, the pot assembly may be failing and replacement is recommended.

Q: Will this kit fit my IntelliFlo 3 pump?
A: Yes—this part is specifically for the IntelliFlo 3 pump series (especially 3.0 HP models). Confirm your pump model and serial to ensure compatibility.

Q: Is the installation difficult?
A: Installation is straightforward for a qualified technician. It involves draining water, removing the old strainer pot, installing the new kit components, resealing and re-priming the pump.

Q: Will this fix all pump issues?
A: This kit restores the housing/strainer pot and seal integrity, but if the problem lies with the impeller, motor, or other internal wear, those parts may still require service.

Q: What maintenance should follow installation?
A: After installation, ensure the basket is clean, verify prime and suction lines are free of blockage, and monitor for leaks or unusual vibration during initial hours of operation.
