It measures 7-1\/4 inches across the top, 5-5\/16 inches across the bottom and 4-5\/8 inches tall.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMeasure before you order\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSkimmer baskets look alike and are not interchangeable. The top outside diameter is the one that matters, because it decides whether the basket sits in the skimmer throat or falls through. Pull the old basket, measure across the top rim, and check it against the 7-1\/4 inch figure here.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy a cracked basket is worth replacing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe skimmer basket is the first strainer in the system and the pump depends on it. Once the weave splits, leaves and hair go straight through to the pump basket and then to the impeller, where they cost you flow and eventually the pump. Baskets go brittle with sun and age, so a basket that cracks when you tap it is due whether or not it looks broken.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aladdin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48629534916820,"sku":"SPG-601-0043","price":11.61,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/default_dce792fc-7669-4839-b419-ab7cbe116ce4.jpg?v=1788766226","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/pac-fab-skimmer-basket-b-43","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
