This is the genuine Kripsol replacement handle for the pre-filter strainer basket fitted to Koral KS, Ondina CK, and Ondina OK series pool pumps. The handle is the moulded grip by which you lift the basket clear of the pump body during routine cleaning or inspection. Without an intact handle, removing the basket risks cracking the basket rim or struggling to extract it under suction pressure.<\/p>\n
The handle sits on top of the strainer basket and gives you a positive grip when you unscrew the pump lid and pull the basket free. It takes the full extraction force every time the pump is serviced, which is why it cracks or snaps before the basket itself fails. Replacing the handle alone avoids the cost of a full basket assembly.<\/p>\n
This handle is confirmed for the Koral KS series (KS 33 through KS 300), the Ondina CK, and the Ondina OK series pumps \u2014 the same pump families that share the Koral pre-filter basket platform. Check your pump model plate before ordering if you own a Koral EVO or VS variant, as basket geometry may differ on those later ranges.<\/p>\n
The handle has failed when it snaps off flush with the basket top, develops a hairline crack that widens under load, or pulls free from its moulded socket. If you find yourself using pliers or a cloth to fish the basket out, the handle is already compromised. Replace it before the basket itself becomes difficult to extract or is damaged in the process.<\/p>\n
Switch the pump off and isolate power. Unscrew the transparent lid, lift out the basket, and press or clip the new handle into the basket’s locating socket until it seats fully \u2014 no tools required on most variants. Refit the basket, check the lid O-ring is seated, retighten the lid, and restore power. The entire job takes under five minutes.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
