Quick overview

  • Genuine Waterway Factory basket, part number 519-2900.
  • Above ground skimmer Made for the Waterway above ground pool skimmer rather than an in ground unit.
  • Protects the pump The basket catches leaves and debris before they can reach the pump strainer and the impeller.
  • Cracks are the usual reason A basket with a broken rim or split wall lets debris through even when it looks like it is still doing its job.
  • Straight swap Lift the old basket out and drop the new one in, no tools needed.
  • Keep a spare Baskets go brittle with sun and chemicals, and a split one is easy to miss until flow drops.

Product details

The Waterway 519-2900 is the replacement basket for the above ground pool skimmer. It is the genuine Waterway part.

What the basket does

Everything the skimmer pulls off the surface, leaves, bugs and larger grit, is meant to stop in this basket. What gets past it travels down the suction line to the pump strainer, and anything that gets past that reaches the impeller. The basket is the first and cheapest line of defense in that chain.

When to change it

Baskets fail quietly. A split in the side wall or a broken rim still looks like a basket sitting in the skimmer, but debris now flows around it. Sun and chlorine make the plastic brittle over time, so give it a look each time you empty it and swap it out once it cracks or distorts.

Questions and answers

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

Is this for an above ground pool?
Yes. It is the basket for the above ground skimmer.
Do I need tools to fit it?
No. The basket lifts out of the skimmer and the new one drops straight in.
Why does a cracked basket matter?
Debris passes through the crack and lands in the pump strainer, and from there it can reach the impeller. The basket is the cheapest part in that chain, so it is worth keeping it sound.
How often should it be replaced?
When it cracks, distorts or the handle breaks. Sun and pool chemicals make the plastic brittle over the years, so inspect it whenever you empty it.
