Custom Molded Products Waterway Skimmer Basket

This model is designed as a direct replacement for standard Waterway in-ground skimmer housings. We recommend measuring your current basket or checking your skimmer model number against the 25140-000-900 specification to ensure a proper fit.

No, this specific model does not include a handle. It is designed to sit securely within the skimmer housing and is typically removed by lifting it directly from the top rim.

ABS plastic is specifically chosen for this application because it is highly resistant to the harsh chemicals found in swimming pools, such as chlorine and bromine. It is designed to withstand long-term submersion without becoming brittle or degrading.

This basket is primarily designed to capture larger debris like leaves, twigs, and insects. While it will catch some smaller particles, it is not a fine-mesh filter and is intended to protect your pump from larger clogs rather than filter out silt.

To maintain optimal water flow and protect your pool pump, you should check and empty the basket at least once a week. If your pool is surrounded by trees or experiences heavy debris, you may need to clear it more frequently to prevent restricted filtration.
