Pentair Pot Assembly | WhisperFlo VST / IntelliFlo Variable Speed Pumps | 357243Z

The Pentair 357243Z Pot Assembly (Almond, NPT) is the OEM replacement pot assembly for the WhisperFlo VST and IntelliFlo series variable speed pumps. This is a complete kit — not a single component — and is color-matched to Almond-finish equipment. ⚠️ IMPORTANT: THIS LISTING IS A KIT — NOT A SINGLE PART The 357243Z is a complete Pot Assembly Kit. Depending on the pump model, it includes multiple sub-components. Refer to your pump's exploded diagram to confirm all included items before ordering. ⚠️ IMPORTANT: VERSION / DATE QUALIFIER APPLIES For IntelliFlo i1 and i2 pumps, this kit applies to units manufactured after April 2016. For IntelliFlo VS+SVRS pumps, this kit applies to units manufactured after June 2016. Verify your pump's manufacture date before ordering. The pot assembly forms the hydraulic wet end of the pump — housing the strainer basket, directing water flow into the volute, and channeling it to the impeller. A cracked, warped, or leaking pot assembly compromises prime, reduces flow efficiency, and can allow debris to bypass the basket and damage the impeller. Replacing the complete assembly restores the sealed hydraulic path and original flow characteristics. Match the Almond color finish and NPT connection type to your existing installation before ordering.

Pro Tip Before ordering, confirm two things: the color of your existing pot assembly (Almond vs. Dark Gray) and your pump's manufacture date. The item contents included in this kit vary by pump model and production date — cross-reference the item numbers listed in the Notes column above against your pump's exploded parts diagram to ensure all components you need are included in this kit. If your pump was manufactured before the April or June 2016 cutoff dates noted above, verify fitment against your equipment manual before purchasing.
