Fluidra - Pre-filter Strainer Basket for Performax Plus ECO VS Pump

Fluidra – Pre-filter Strainer Basket for Performax Plus ECO VS Pump

This is the genuine Fluidra replacement strainer basket for the Performax Plus ECO VS variable-speed pool pump (1-phase, 1.10 kW). Seated inside the pump’s pre-filter housing, it intercepts leaves, hair, and coarse debris before water reaches the impeller, protecting the pump’s internal hydraulics and maintaining efficient water flow.

Compatibility

This basket is designed specifically for the Fluidra Performax Plus ECO VS single-phase 1.10 kW pump range. Always verify your pump’s model designation before ordering, as basket dimensions and fixing styles vary between pump families. If in doubt, cross-reference with your pump’s original spare-parts diagram.

Why genuine matters

An OEM Fluidra basket is manufactured to the precise dimensions of the pre-filter housing, ensuring a correct seal and no bypass of debris. Third-party alternatives can be fractionally undersized, allowing fine debris to pass around the basket and reach the impeller — leading to accelerated wear. A genuine part also preserves the terms of any existing Fluidra pump warranty.

Installation

Replacement is straightforward: shut off the pump, release the pre-filter lid, lift out the old basket, rinse the housing, and drop in the new basket before refitting the lid. No tools are required for the basket itself. It is good practice to inspect and clean the basket regularly, as a blocked basket restricts flow and places additional load on the motor.
