Pentair Sta-Rite C8-58PZ Pump Strainer Basket C858PZ

When the trap basket cracks, the pump starts eating everything the skimmer missed — leaves, twigs, and grit go straight to the impeller. The Pentair C8-58PZ (part C8-58PZ) is the genuine Sta-Rite trap basket for the Max-E-Pro, Dyna-Glas, Dura-Glas II, and IntelliPro pump families. It drops into the pump trap in place of the old basket and restores the straining that protects the impeller, diffuser, and seals downstream.

🚩 PRO TIP: When a trap basket cracks, look for the cause before blaming the plastic: a trap lid O-ring that leaks air, or a basket chronically packed solid with debris, will fatigue even a new basket. Rinse the new one weekly and check the lid seal.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

• Is the C8-58PZ interchangeable with the C108-33PZ? No. They fit different trap generations — the C8-58PZ serves Max-E-Pro, Dyna-Glas, Dura-Glas II, and IntelliPro pumps, while the C108-33PZ fits the earlier Max-E-Glas and Dura-Glas 5 in. trap. Match the number on your old basket.
• What does the Z suffix mean? The Z is Pentair's retail-packaging suffix; the C8-58PZ is the same genuine Sta-Rite basket as the C8-58P.
• How often should the trap basket be emptied? At least weekly in season. A packed basket starves the pump, drops prime, and puts the motor under strain.
