This old dinosaur is still going strong. The stupid base that it sits on has cracked and shifted causing the filter to shift also. Does anyone know where I might be able to find a replacement base for it? The part number is 23901-0005 and I've looked on inyo pools and have run all kinds of google searches but no luck finding anyone who might have one in stock. Does anyone know of any place that might stock old parts? I don't want to replace the whole filter because of a simple thing like a stand. I don't even care if it is a used stand as long as it still works.

Are u sure its not this? Or that this could be used?

The part u listed says tank base which looks to be the same only upside down.
Maybe a pic of your situation would be helpful also. Have u called inyopools to see if a different part may work as a substitute? they can be pretty helpful.

The one you posted a pic of is the smaller base for the smaller diameter tank, so yes that is the part but I need the bigger version of it. I will try to call them just in case there is something else that might work.

My base is also plastic & is for my filter & pump.
When they replaced my pump under warranty they gave me a new design that no longer fits my plastic base. Luckily i was able to turn it & leave the part the pump rests on underneath the deck then just put some wood blocks Under the pump. Its not pretty but it works. Maybe you can make something out of wood to stabilize it & get u through until u replace your aging filter.
I wish i’d have known mine wasn’t going to fit before I emptied & refilled the 250# filter! It took some manpower moving it while it was full.

We might end up using the old base as a form and pouring concrete into it to make a much more solid base, leaving the plastic part on top but with the hope that the concrete holds everything up for a long as the filter keeps working.

That’s a great idea 
!
It looks like it would be pretty easy to do w/ that base too. Don’t forget to grease it up before pouring
