Product details

The SkimPro SP-HP-1080 is a replacement skimmer basket for the Hayward 1080 series of in-ground skimmers, the ones with two large tabs inside the throat that secure the lid. It replaces the flat standard basket with a basket that carries a patented vented tower and a handle.

Why the tower

A standard basket packed with leaves blocks the skimmer and starves the pump. The SkimPro tower has vents above the debris line, so water keeps circulating through the skimmer even when the basket is full. That protects the pump motor from running dry and keeps water moving instead of stagnating where algae can take hold.

Easier to service

The handle sits at the top of the tower, above the water, so you lift the basket out from the deck without reaching into the skimmer.

Fit

The basket measures 7-5/16 in. across the top, 5-5/8 in. across the bottom and 6-1/8 in. tall, and stands 12-7/8 in. from the base to the top of the tower. Other SkimPro baskets fit the Hayward SP1070 series and Baker Hydro skimmers; confirm you have the 1080 before ordering.

Questions and answers

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

How do I know I have a Hayward 1080 skimmer?
Look inside the skimmer for two large tabs that the lid locks onto. That is the 1080 series. SkimPro makes separate baskets for the SP1070 series and for Baker Hydro skimmers.
What does the vented tower do?
When leaves pack the basket, water can still pass through the vents in the tower, so the pump keeps drawing and the skimmer keeps working until you get to it.
Why does that matter?
A blocked basket starves the pump, which can overheat the motor, and stagnant water in the skimmer encourages algae. Continued flow prevents both.
Do I have to reach under water to pull it?
No. The tower carries a handle above the water line, so the basket lifts straight out from the deck.
