Product details

The Waterway 550-1220 is the replacement basket assembly for the Front Access Skim Filter. It arrives complete with its handle and with the raised center the filter needs.

Sizing

The basket measures 6-1/2 inches outside diameter across the top, 6 inches at the cut edge, and 3-1/4 inches tall. If you are matching an unlabeled basket, those three numbers are the check to make before ordering.

Supersedes the older basket

This part replaces the earlier Waterway 519-2900. If your skimmer came with a 519-2900, the 550-1220 is the current part to fit.

Why it is worth replacing

A cracked or split basket lets leaves and grit straight through to the pump, where they load the strainer basket and eventually reach the impeller. A basket is the cheapest filter in the system and the easiest to keep in good shape.

Questions and answers

What people ask about this product, answered by our pool techs.

What are the dimensions?
6-1/2 inches outside diameter at the top, 6 inches at the cut edge, and 3-1/4 inches tall.
Does it come with the handle?
Yes. It is supplied as a basket assembly with the handle attached.
I have an older basket numbered 519-2900. Will this work?
Yes. Waterway 550-1220 replaces the 519-2900 basket.
Why does the raised center matter?
It is how this basket seats in the Front Access Skim Filter. A flat bottomed basket of similar diameter will not sit the same way.
