Expert Comparison & Pro Tips

Compared to off-brand floor plates, the Pentair 08417-0005 delivers a noticeably better fit and finish. Generic plates often require forcing or may not thread properly. Technician experience tells us that OEM plates last longer and maintain their color better under chemical exposure.


Pro Tip: When replacing the floor plate, inspect the inlet housing for debris or scale buildup and clean it before installing the new plate to ensure a smooth, flush fit. Remove any scale from threads before installing.

Our Expert Verdict: Real-World Results

In real pool conditions, the Pentair Floor Plate Sub-Assembly performs exactly as intended — quietly and reliably. It restores the clean look of the pool floor while ensuring water returns are properly directed to support circulation. Installation is straightforward for DIY homeowners and fast for service professionals, making it a cost-effective repair. Most importantly, it prevents small inlet issues from turning into larger circulation problems. Backed by Shasta Pool Supply’s fast shipping and knowledgeable support, this is the right replacement when you want it fixed once — and fixed correctly.

How does the Pentair 08417-0005 compare to generic floor inlet plates?

Generic floor plates may look similar, but they often lack the precise tolerances and material quality of genuine Pentair parts. The 08417-0005 is molded to exact OEM specifications, ensuring proper sealing, alignment, and long-term durability. For dependable performance and peace of mind, OEM Pentair replacements consistently outperform aftermarket alternatives.

Best For: Ideal Pool Types & Conditions

This floor plate sub-assembly is best for in-ground pools using Pentair or Sta-Rite adjustable floor inlet systems where the original plate is worn, cracked, or cosmetically aged. It’s ideal for homeowners who want to restore proper circulation without replacing the entire inlet assembly. Pools with pop-up or in-floor circulation systems benefit most, especially when even water distribution matters for debris control. This part is also a smart choice during resurfacing or seasonal refurbishments.


Best for: Pentair/Sta-Rite floor inlet systems


Not ideal for: Non-Pentair inlet designs or wall return fittings

Outstanding experience. My order was confirmed and shipped the same day. The part was a factory sealed Pentair part and was exactly as specified.

My heater arrived undamaged and was securely shipped on a crate. The product was exactly what I needed to remove the old unit and install the new unit. Thank you!

Ordered a Hayward variable speed Omni pool pump to replace one which went out. Picked it up about 24 hours after order was placed. Staff was friendly and helpful. Price and product was of the quality of the product was what I hoped for. The only drawback to this was having to pick it up in a fairly narrow window. Thought this motivated me to get it done earlier. In hindsight, picking it up one day and installing the next was a better plan than trying to install same day. It is very hot here. Picking it up, moving it to the location, unboxing, and reading the installation manual was accomplished early the first day. This particular pump has controls which although the instruction were clear, the existing control board had numbering sequence opposite of what was expected and it turns out the original pump was installed without gaskets. The pump came with new control wiring so I replaced. So after finding leaks (before energizing) and realizing there were rubber gaskets with the new pump it took 4 hours, pump was successfully installed next day. No more worry about a stagnant pool. Manual states this installation is to be by a trained professional. This type of project was not for the unskilled as there are a variety of tools necessary as well as relatively complicated control and 240V wiring. Including the very important bonding wiring. I was comfortable due to my skill levels to do this installation, but I believe most folks will want to hire a trained professional.
