Can anyone help me identify this part?

[Bargus]

Hello all,

I'm getting my pool ready to open for the season. While going through and inspecting equipment, I came across this mesh filter piece. For the life of me, I don't recognize it. I've checked parts lists and exploded diagrams, but can't seem to find where it goes.

I have a StaRite JWPA Series pump (https://www.poolandspa.com/catalog/product002290000285.cfm);
a Sta-Rite Posi-Flo stainless cartridge filter (Sta-Rite Posi-Flo Stainless Cartridge Filters Parts - INYOPools.com)
and a Pentair MasterTemp heater (Pentair MasterTemp Pool Heater Parts - Fast Shipping on Pentair MasterTemp Parts - Buy MasterTemp 250 parts, MasterTemp 400 parts and Other Pentair Parts Online at Parts4Heating - We Carry Thermal Regulators, Control Boards and More)


Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Looks like a drain screen/trap - I have them in the pole barn. They fit in the hole where the under-slab drain is so that 'stuff' doesn't get in there. Usually see them in kitchen/laundry sinks to catch lint and chunks

Edit : Almost looks like that's intended to be inline, in a 2 1/2" pipe...

Hmm, thanks. I'm still learning as I go with pool stuff. What/where should I look for for this screen? I'm not sure what the slab drain is

Thanks again!

Is there a part number on the part?

The cup can go up or down.

In my opinion, it should go down, but some references say up.

Do you have an infloor cleaning system?
If so, add it to your signature.

Strainer up may make it easier to remove for cleaning.

I have one on my sand filter when you open the lid. It’s a screen for an air hose.
