Installation Notes
Turn off the pool pump and relieve system pressure. Remove the pump cover, extract the old basket, rinse and clean the pump housing if needed, insert the new SPX2300M basket ensuring proper orientation, replace the cover and restore circulation. Check initial performance to confirm unrestricted flow.
Maintenance Tip
Clean the basket regularly—at least once a season or more if debris load is heavy. Inspect the basket for cracks, broken ribs or warping and replace immediately if any damage is observed to protect your pool pump and maintain efficient operation.
