This is the genuine AstralPool replacement pre-filter basket for the Astral Compact SS 0.25 HP pool pump (ref. 35612). Positioned at exploded-view position 3, it sits inside the pump’s pre-filter housing and captures leaves, debris, and coarse solid waste before water reaches the impeller. Keeping this basket clean and intact is essential for protecting the pump motor and maintaining efficient pool circulation.<\/p>\n
The basket acts as the first line of defence in your pool’s filtration loop. It retains coarse solid waste to prevent it from entering the turbine and causing blockages, and its fine mesh also allows small lost objects to be recovered rather than ingested by the pump. An integrated handle makes it easy to lift out of the housing for inspection and rinsing without tools.<\/p>\n
This part is designed specifically for the AstralPool Compact SS pump range, including pump references 25470, 25471, and 35612. Always cross-check your pump’s model reference before ordering to ensure a precise fit \u2014 this basket is not interchangeable with other AstralPool pump families such as the Sena or Victoria Plus.<\/p>\n
As an official AstralPool spare part, this basket is manufactured to the exact tolerances of the original component, guaranteeing a secure seat inside the pre-filter body and consistent flow-through performance. Third-party alternatives may not seat correctly, risking debris bypass and accelerated wear on the pump’s mechanical seal and impeller.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
