Product Overview
Repair a compatible pump housing with the Pentair Sta-Rite Tank Body Assembly for Max-E-Glas II and Dura-Glas II pumps. This OEM replacement includes the tank body, trap cover, cover O-ring, and strainer basket, providing several related service components in one assembly. It is an option for repairing a damaged housing when the existing motor and other pump components remain serviceable. This is a pump body assembly—not a complete pump, motor, or filter tank.
Ideal For
Pool professionals repairing compatible Sta-Rite Max-E-Glas II or Dura-Glas II pumps.
Pool owners replacing a cracked or damaged pump housing after professional diagnosis.
Repair projects that also require a replacement trap cover, cover seal, and basket.
Key Features
Genuine Pentair Sta-Rite replacement assembly for the specified pump families.
Tank body supplied with the trap cover, O-ring, and strainer basket.
Removable trap cover provides access to the basket for routine cleaning.
Strainer basket collects larger debris before it enters the pump’s internal hydraulic components.
Replacement housing allows serviceable pump components to be retained when appropriate.
Benefits
Combines the housing and several related maintenance components in one purchase.
Supports targeted repair when a complete pump replacement is unnecessary.
Replaces the trap cover and its sealing O-ring alongside the tank body.
Provides an OEM component that can be matched against the pump’s replacement-parts diagram.
The cause of housing damage should be addressed during the repair. Inspect the connected plumbing and supporting components before returning the pump to service.

Warranty & Compatibility
Confirm Before Ordering / Compatibility
This assembly is listed for Sta-Rite Max-E-Glas II and Dura-Glas II pumps. Confirm the complete pump model and compare the housing against the manufacturer’s parts diagram before ordering.
The “II” designation matters. Do not assume compatibility with earlier Max-E-Glas or Dura-Glas pumps, or with another Sta-Rite pump that looks similar.
Check the existing plumbing connections, clamp, seal plate, and associated seals. Installation may require plumbing adjustments or additional service parts. Have a qualified pool professional assess the repair, isolate electrical power, and relieve system pressure before disassembly.
