Pentair PKG 184 Hair & Lint Strainer with Basket

The Pentair PKG 184 Hair & Lint Strainer is designed to provide significant protection for commercial circulation pumps by maintaining a large 1,100 cubic inch debris capacity. Engineered specifically for Pentair Sta-Rite CSP Series commercial pool pumps, this unit captures hair, lint, leaves, and other particulates before they can damage the pump mechanism. The assembly features a rugged cast iron housing and a removable stainless steel strainer basket built for long-term use in high-flow aquatic systems.

Installation relies on a standard 6-inch ANSI flange suction connection, accommodating demands typical of commercial plumbing setups. Because the pump and strainer are ordered as separate components, verify your CSP Series pump compatibility and check equipment-room clearance before purchasing. Routine maintenance is simplified through a removable lid design that allows quick basket extraction and cleaning.

Contact a qualified commercial pool professional for proper installation and alignment verification. This strainer supports self-priming operations when paired with the correct compatible pumps. Ensure all gaskets and suction plumbing meet current operating conditions to maximize longevity and safety.
