The Fluidtrol 6-100-5106 Spare Strainer Basket safeguards pumps in commercial aquatic systems by capturing hair, lint, and leaves before they reach downstream circulation equipment. Manufactured entirely from corrosion-resistant 316 stainless steel, this heavy-duty replacement basket fits Fluidral-compatible 10-inch aquatic basket strainer housings reliably. The robust 18-gauge construction maintains integrity under pressure while delivering consistent flow performance.

Engineering focuses on balancing debris retention with fluid dynamics. This basket utilizes 1/8-inch perforations arranged on 3/16-inch staggered centers, yielding approximately 40% open area across a total surface of roughly 718.3 square inches. This configuration minimizes system downtime during maintenance cycles without restricting suction efficiency required for large facility pools.

Specifications

Verify your existing strainer model or serial number before ordering to avoid fitment errors, as the 10-inch specification denotes housing compatibility rather than physical diameter. For safe operation, shut down the circulation system and fully relieve pressure from the housing before removing the original unit. Clean the interior housing and inspect gaskets or O-rings for wear before reinstalling the new basket.
