Product details
Pentair R38016 is a pump strainer basket for the Hayward SP-1600M. It is cross referenced to Aladdin B-167, which is the number you will see on a lot of parts lists for the same basket.
What the basket does
Everything the skimmer misses ends up in the pump pot, and the strainer basket is the last thing standing between that debris and the impeller. Leaves, twigs and grit that get past a broken basket restrict the impeller, cut flow, and work at the shaft seal until it leaks. That is why a cracked basket is worth replacing the day you notice it rather than at the end of the season.
Before you order
Confirm your pump reads SP-1600M, which some listings write without the hyphen as SP1600M. This is a Pentair supplied replacement rather than a Hayward branded part, so match it on the basket dimensions and the cross reference if you are comparing against an original.
