Description
Pentair Superflo pump base R351094
The Pentair Superflo pump base R351094 is the original mounting base designed to support and stabilise Superflo circulation pumps.
It provides a solid, vibration reducing platform between the pump and the floor or equipment slab, helping to protect the hydraulic
connections, motor and housing during everyday operation.
Main features of the Pentair Superflo pump base
- Original Pentair pump base for Superflo circulation pumps.
- Correct footprint and fixing points for the Superflo pump housing.
- Rigid construction for stable support and reduced vibration.
- Designed for use in pool technical rooms and outdoor installations.
Function and role in the installation
The pump base R351094 is installed under the Superflo pump to provide a level, secure mounting surface.
A correctly fitted base keeps the pump aligned with the pipework, reduces mechanical stress on the unions and helps to limit vibration
and noise transmitted to the floor or support structure.
- Supports the weight of the pump and helps maintain correct alignment.
- Provides a defined fixing pattern for anchoring the pump to the ground.
- Helps protect the housing and unions from stress caused by misaligned pipework.
Compatibility and typical use
This pump base is intended for Pentair Superflo pool pumps. It follows the original dimensions, hole spacing and support profile of
the factory base so the pump can be mounted directly without modification.
- Compatible with Pentair Superflo pumps that specify reference R351094 as base.
- Suitable as a replacement when the original base is cracked, deformed or missing.
- Useful when relocating a pump or rebuilding a filtration group on a new slab.
Before ordering, check the identification plate of your pump and the spare parts diagram. If the base is listed as R351094, this is
the correct replacement mounting base.
When to replace the Pentair Superflo pump base
Although the base has no hydraulic or electrical function, its condition has a direct impact on the stability and reliability of the
installation. Damage or deformation can lead to misalignment and increased noise or leaks.
- Cracks or broken sections in the existing base, especially around fixing holes.
- Pump no longer sitting level, causing strain on unions or flexible connectors.
- Visible wear, distortion or corrosion of fixings after long service.
- Upgrade or reorganisation of the technical room where a clean, undamaged base is preferred.
Installation guidelines
Installing the Pentair Superflo pump base R351094 is a simple mechanical task that is usually done when mounting or repositioning the
pump. Work should be carried out with the pump disconnected from the electrical supply and the hydraulic circuit depressurised.
- Switch off and isolate the electrical supply to the pump before starting.
- If replacing an existing base, disconnect unions or flexible hoses and remove the pump from its current support.
- Position the new base on a flat, solid surface and mark the fixing points if you plan to anchor it to the slab.
- Secure the base using suitable anchors or screws where required by the installation.
- Place the Superflo pump onto the base, aligning the mounting feet with the dedicated supports or holes.
- Reconnect the pipework, ensuring that the pump and unions are aligned without forcing the connections.
After reassembly, reconnect the electrical supply, prime the pump and check for smooth, quiet running with no vibration or movement of
the base during normal operation.
Good practice for a stable, quiet installation
A well supported pump base helps the entire filtration system run more quietly and reliably. A few simple precautions ensure long
term stability.
- Install the base on a level, rigid slab to avoid twisting the pump housing.
- Support long pipe runs so the base does not carry the full weight of the pipework.
- Check fixing screws and anchors periodically and retighten if necessary.
- Inspect the base at the start of each season for signs of wear, cracks or movement.
With a correctly installed Pentair Superflo pump base R351094, the pump sits securely and operates with reduced vibration, helping to
protect the hydraulic connections and extend the life of the filtration system.
