A torn or missing basket can also let leaves and debris pass straight through to the pump, so checking the basket is a routine part of pool upkeep. Replacing a worn basket keeps the skimmer catching debris as intended.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBefore you order\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConfirm your skimmer brand and basket size match the Waterway fitment above before ordering.
