U.S. Pool Supply Weighted Inground Pool Skimmer Basket

Standard plastic baskets often float when the pump turns off, which can allow debris to escape back into the pool or clog the skimmer intake. The integrated weights in this basket keep it securely seated at the bottom of the housing, ensuring consistent filtration and preventing the basket from shifting.

This basket is specifically designed for Hayward SPX1070/SPX1071, Pentair Bermuda, and SwimQuip U-3 skimmers. Before purchasing, measure your existing basket: this model has an 8-inch top diameter, a 5.5-inch bottom diameter, and a 5-inch depth.

No, this basket is constructed from specialized chlorine-resistant and UV-resistant plastic. It is engineered to withstand harsh chemical environments and direct sun exposure without cracking or becoming brittle over time.

The basket is designed with a mesh density capable of capturing both large leaves and smaller debris. This helps prevent clogs in your plumbing lines and reduces the strain on your pump and filter system.

Each purchase includes a set of two baskets, providing you with a spare or a replacement for a second skimmer if needed.
