Product details

This is the genuine Baker Hydro strainer basket for Hydropak and in-ground Hydro skimmers, part number 51B1026, supplied as a complete assembly with the handle. It is the basket that catches leaves and debris in the skimmer well before water reaches the pump.

Check the fit

The basket measures 7-3/4 in. across the top, tapers to 5-1/16 in. at the bottom and stands 6 in. tall. Compare those numbers to the basket you are replacing. If they match, this drops straight in.

Why the handle matters

A skimmer basket gets emptied more often than any other part of the system. The molded handle lets you lift it clear without reaching into the well, which is the reason handles break off and baskets end up with cracked rims in the first place. Replacing the whole assembly puts a fresh handle and a sound basket back in service at once.

Questions and answers

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

How do I know this fits my skimmer?
Measure the old basket. This one is 7-3/4 in. across the top rim, 5-1/16 in. across the bottom and 6 in. tall. It is the factory basket for Baker Hydro Hydropak and in-ground Hydro skimmers.
Does it come with the handle?
Yes. The assembly is the basket and the handle together.
Is this the genuine Baker Hydro part?
Yes, it is the OEM 51B1026 basket assembly.
Why replace a skimmer basket?
A cracked basket lets leaves and debris pass through to the pump strainer, and a missing handle makes daily emptying a chore. A sound basket protects the pump and keeps cleaning quick.
