Durable PP resin skimmer basket built to protect your pump and reduce maintenance Key benefits Long-lasting construction: Made from PP resin (polypropylene) for a durable, non-brittle basket that holds up to regular use and seasonal conditions. Preserves pump and filter life: Engineered to support optimal water flow and keep large debris out of the filtration system, reducing strain on pumps and extending filter life. Faster, easier cleaning: Quickly traps leaves, twigs and other coarse particles so you can remove debris before it clogs pumps or filters, lowering the frequency of filter maintenance. Value and reliability: Designed to meet OEM standards while offering a cost-effective replacement option. Features & specifications Material: PP resin for toughness and long service life. Function: Sits in the skimmer to catch coarse dirt particles and prevent them from entering the pump and filter plumbing. Performance: Basket geometry and openings are engineered to balance high water flow with effective debris capture. Options: Available in two styles — with handle for easy removal, or without handle to fit skimmers that require a handleless insert. Practical use scenarios After heavy storms or during autumn leaf drop, use the basket to capture large debris and prevent pump clogs. For routine pool maintenance, keep a spare basket on hand to quickly swap and clean without stopping filtration. In high-use or commercial settings, rely on the basket to reduce filter servicing and maintain consistent water circulation. What it does for you Reduces downtime and maintenance costs by trapping debris before it reaches the pump and filter. Provides a straightforward, durable replacement that fits into skimmer housings and performs to OEM expectations.
