About This Item
The Pentair Stainless Steel Strainer Basket (355901) is the OEM replacement strainer basket for the Challenger High Flow Pump in 5F configurations.
The strainer basket sits inside the pump's strainer housing and intercepts debris — leaves, hair, and other particulates — before they reach the impeller. Keeping this basket in good condition maintains pump flow rate and protects the impeller from damage. Replace when the basket shows visible cracks, deformation, or corrosion that compromises its screening function. The stainless steel construction of this 5F-specific basket offers greater durability than standard thermoplastic baskets in demanding high-flow applications.

Pro Tip
This basket is designed for 5F Challenger High Flow models only — it is not interchangeable with other frame-size variants. Before ordering, confirm your pump's model number ends in "5F" or check the part number stamped on your existing basket. If you are servicing the pump, inspect the strainer housing lid O-ring at the same time and replace it if it shows any flattening or cracking to prevent air leaks after reassembly.
