Pentair Purex Holding Wheel

No, this specific holding wheel is engineered exclusively for the Pentair Purex CFW-315 filtration system. It will not fit other models, so please verify your filter system model number before purchasing.

The holding wheel is critical for keeping your filter elements properly aligned and secure. If it is worn or cracked, the filter elements can shift, leading to bypass where water flows around the filter rather than through it, which significantly reduces your filtration efficiency.

This is a genuine Pentair replacement part. Using original manufacturer components ensures the exact fit and material durability required for the specific internal pressures of the CFW-315 system.

Generally, no special tools are required. Since this is a direct-fit replacement, you should be able to remove the old wheel and snap or slide the new one into place by hand during your routine filter maintenance.

Look for signs of brittleness, cracking, or warping on the wheel itself. If you notice your filter elements are loose, misaligned, or rattling inside the tank when the pump is running, the holding wheel is likely compromised and needs to be replaced.
