Frequently Asked Questions

 

1. What does "Universal" mean for a pump basket? A "Universal" pump basket is designed to be adaptable and fit various pump models from different manufacturers. While it may not fit every single pump, its design allows for more flexibility than a model-specific basket, often with features that can be adjusted or trimmed for a snug fit.

2. How do I know if my pump basket needs to be replaced? You should replace your pump basket if you notice any visible damage, such as cracks, holes, or a broken handle. A damaged basket can allow debris to pass through and clog the impeller, which can cause significant damage to the pump.

3. How do I install this universal pump basket? To install the basket, first turn off the pump and relieve any pressure in the system. Open the pump lid, remove the old, damaged basket, and carefully place the new ORCA Universal Pump Basket inside the strainer pot. Ensure it sits correctly to provide a proper seal before replacing the lid. If the basket is too large for your pump, you may need to carefully trim the top rim to fit, following any instructions provided.
