Warnings and Disclaimers

Fit Verification: This specific basket is for the larger Max-E-Pro/Dura-Glas II pumps. Verify dimensions, as it will **not** fit the smaller Dyna-Glas I or older Max-E-Glas I pumps.
Suction Hazard: Always turn off the pool pump at the circuit breaker before attempting to remove the basket to prevent severe injury from suction.
Chemical Handling: Do NOT place chlorine tablets directly into the pump basket. Concentrated chemicals can cause the plastic to become brittle and break over time.
Prop 65 Warning: The product may expose you to chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and reproductive harm.

Pro Tips

Regular Emptying: Empty the pump basket daily to ensure optimal water flow and prevent the pump motor from overheating or "cavitation."
Prevent Impeller Damage: A cracked or broken basket must be replaced immediately to stop large debris from reaching and damaging the pump's impeller.
Buy a Spare: Keep a spare basket on hand in case the original breaks, ensuring minimal downtime for your pool circulation system.
Lid O-Ring Check: When servicing the basket, inspect the pump lid O-ring for cracks and lubricate it with a silicone-based lubricant to ensure an air-tight seal.
