Product Overview
The Waterway 310-6500 6" Pump Trap Assembly is engineered to restore full functionality to pool systems where the original pump strainer body has become worn, cracked, or incompatible with today's plumbing standards. This full-featured assembly is built around a 6-inch trap chamber, which supports stable water flow, reduces air infiltration, and mitigates debris bypass — all of which contribute to healthier circulation and longer AV equipment life. The 1½″ buttress or FPT inlet simplifies drop-in replacement while the 2″ union flange connects to existing plumbing unions without requiring major re-pipe changes. With the lid, basket, and gasket included, you have a maintenance-ready solution that eliminates the hassle of assembling parts piecemeal. Waterway designed the 310-6500 to endure harsh pool environments: its housing resists chemical corrosion and UV degradation, the basket captures leaves and particulates before they reach the impeller, and the union flange supports leak-tight, service-friendly connections. For pool service technicians or savvy homeowners, this OEM trap assembly offers an efficient path to restoring pump performance, reducing downtime, and keeping your circulation system operating at peak efficiency.
