Pentair Wet End Kit for IntelliFlo3 VSF 3HP Pool Pump | 356175

Restore filtration and flow to a Pentair IntelliFlo3 VSF 3.0 HP pump with the 356175Z Wet End Kit, an OEM replacement for the pump's strainer pot section. This assembly houses the strainer basket that traps debris ahead of the impeller, and it arrives in almond to blend with the factory pump color. A transparent cover and matching O-ring let you monitor the basket and maintain a watertight seal, while the durable housing stands up to chlorinated water, sun, and suction pressure. It's the part to reach for when the original volute has cracked or the lid no longer seals. Cross-referenced as 35-102-3172, PEN356175Z, and PUR-101-3643.

Highlights

• OEM Wet End Replacement: The 356175Z is a genuine Pentair assembly matched to the IntelliFlo3 VSF 3.0 HP pump, so the volute, basket, and cover line up with the factory pump exactly.
• Debris Capture Before the Impeller: The strainer basket inside the pot intercepts leaves and grit, protecting the impeller and keeping the pump running efficiently.
• Clear Cover, Watertight Seal: A see-through lid speeds basket checks while the supplied O-ring seals the pot to prevent air intrusion and pressure loss.
• Built for Pool Conditions: Corrosion-free housing resists pool chemicals, sunlight, and constant suction, extending the life of the repair.
• Color-Matched Almond Finish: Molded in almond to match the original IntelliFlo3 pump body for a clean, factory appearance after installation.
