The Hayward part measures 5-9\/16\" across the top, 5-1\/8\" across the bottom and 3\" tall. A basket that is close but not right will rock, tip or leave a gap at the rim, and debris slides past it into the line.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat it protects\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEverything the skimmer catches, the pump does not have to. Leaves and twigs stopped here never reach the pump strainer or the impeller. Once a basket cracks or the bottom gives way it stops doing that job, so it is worth changing on sight rather than waiting for a clogged pump.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hayward","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48633787449556,"sku":"HAY-251-1954","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/default_6b1bb4b8-4446-43ce-820b-208ef19b2ebc.png?v=1788816574","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/basket-1096-series-oem","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
