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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; margin: 20px 0; border: 1px solid #ccc;\"\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f8f9fa;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePentair Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 10px;\"\u003e355901\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 10px;\"\u003eStainless Steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f8f9fa;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuantity Included\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 10px;\"\u003e1 (Each)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFits Into\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; margin: 20px 0; border: 1px solid #ccc;\"\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f8f9fa;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEquipment Line\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel \/ Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNotes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 10px;\"\u003ePentair\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 10px;\"\u003eChallenger High Flow Pump — Challenger High Flow Series\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 10px;\"\u003eCFII-N1-5FE\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 10px;\"\u003e5F models only.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- wft:processed:manual:2026-04-06 --\u003e","brand":"Pentair","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53960108376339,"sku":"355901","price":414.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0920\/0687\/5411\/files\/pentair-stainless-steel-strainer-basket-5f-challenger-high-flow-pump-355901-2.webp?v=1779481021","url":"https:\/\/poolaroo.com\/products\/pentairwaterpoolandspainc_355901","provider":"Poolaroo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
