Product details
The Pentair R38008 is the generic Rainbow replacement skimmer basket, a molded plastic basket listed for the Hayward SP-1070, the Bermuda 516112, the SwimQuip U3, the Jacuzzi 4138 and the Aladdin B-9 skimmers.
Why the basket matters
Everything the skimmer pulls off the surface lands in this basket. When the basket cracks or the rim breaks away, leaves and grit pass straight through to the pump, where they end up in the strainer basket or wedged in the impeller. A basket costs a fraction of that afternoon.
A wear item
Baskets sit in sunlight and sanitized water all season, and they go brittle. Handles snap, rims split, and a basket that has been lifted out wet a few hundred times eventually gives up. Keeping a spare is normal practice.
Check the fit
Skimmer baskets are not universal. Compare the basket you are taking out against the listed models before ordering, and note that this is the basket only.
