It measures 8-3\/8 in across the top, tapers to 5-1\/4 in at the bottom and stands 6 in tall.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy the basket matters\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe skimmer basket is the first thing in the water path, and it is the only part standing between a pool full of leaves and the pump. A cracked or missing basket sends that debris straight to the pump strainer and, eventually, to the impeller. Baskets are consumable: sun makes the plastic brittle, and a hard freeze or a boot in the skimmer finishes the job.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFit and handle\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe taper is what makes it seat securely in the skimmer throat, and the round weighted handle holds it down when the pump shuts off and water surges back into the body. Admiral S20 skimmers use a reinforced PVC twin port base and are offered with a flap or a circular weir, with some versions carrying an equalizer port for commercial or NSF work. This basket is the Pentair part for all of them.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pentair","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48628754710740,"sku":"AMP-251-1279","price":33.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/default_209b14fa-fc67-4e6b-8929-aaae4da7ac65.jpg?v=1788749770","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/basket-admiral-skimmer-s20","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
