Hayward Basket SPX1070E

No, this specific model is designed exclusively for the Hayward 1070 Series Auto-Skim. It will not fit other Hayward skimmer lines, so please verify your skimmer model number before purchasing.

Yes, the handle serves two purposes: it makes lifting the basket out of the skimmer much easier, and its weight helps keep the basket securely seated in the skimmer housing, preventing it from floating up when the pump is running.

This basket is specifically engineered for vinyl and fiberglass pools. If you have a concrete or gunite pool, you should check your skimmer housing model to ensure this basket is the correct fit, as concrete pools often use different skimmer configurations.

The best way to confirm is to measure your existing basket. This model has a top outside diameter of 8.25 inches, a bottom outside dimension of 5.625 inches, and a depth of 5.25 inches. If your current basket matches these dimensions and you have a 1070 Series skimmer, this is the correct replacement.

Yes, the basket is constructed from durable plastic specifically chosen to withstand the harsh environment of a pool, including regular exposure to chlorine and other sanitizing chemicals.
