It is a generic part rather than the factory basket, matched to the same dimensions: 5-9\/16 inches across the top, 5-1\/8 inches across the bottom and 3 inches tall.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat the basket does\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEverything the skimmer pulls off the surface passes through this basket first. Leaves, bugs and grit collect here so they never reach the pump. When the basket cracks or loses a panel of mesh, that debris goes straight down the suction line to the pump strainer, and anything small enough carries on to the impeller.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBefore you order\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSkimmer baskets vary more than people expect, so pull the old one out and check it against the measurements above.
