Description

The Ultra-Flow Strainer Basket V38-185 is built to handle the demands of heavy debris while maintaining proper water flow for your Ultra-Flow / Americana pump. Its deeper design and wide top opening allow for less frequent cleaning and consistent pump performance. Perfect fit for OEM replacements.

Pro Tip

Inspect the basket monthly. Clean promptly when debris begins to pile up high—but before it blocks the inlet fully.

Installation Tips

Turn off power to the pump. Remove pump lid, lift out old basket. Seat the new basket so bottom edges align with sump lip. Replace lid, ensure seal is tight to avoid air leaks.
