Product details

The CMP 27180-163-000 is a replacement skimmer basket for Kafko and Equator skimmers, made to fit in place of the Kafko 19-0163-1.

Identifying your basket

The quickest check is the top rim. The basket this part replaces normally carries the number 1006 molded into the rim, so lift yours out and look before ordering. The body measures 6-1/2 inches tall with 6-3/4 inches across one end and 7-1/2 inches across the other. Our sources disagree on which of those measurements is the top and which is the bottom, so measure both ends of the old basket and match the pair rather than a single figure.

Why not run without one

A skimmer basket is the last barrier before the pump. When it cracks or the rim breaks away, leaves pass straight through, and what would have been a basket change turns into a clogged impeller, a lost prime or a burnt out seal. Baskets are the cheapest part in the entire circulation loop.

Life expectancy

Sun and cold both work on a skimmer basket. Most crack at the rim or at the handle first, and by then the plastic is brittle everywhere. If yours has gone that way, replace it rather than nursing it through another season.

Questions and answers

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

Which basket does this replace?
It is designed to fit in place of the Kafko 19-0163-1 skimmer basket, used in Kafko and Equator skimmers.
How do I confirm mine is the right one?
Lift the old basket out and look at the top rim. The number 1006 is usually molded there on the basket this part replaces.
What are the dimensions?
It is 6-1/2 inches tall, with 6-3/4 inches across one end and 7-1/2 inches across the other. Our sources disagree on which of those is the top, so measure both ends of your old basket rather than one.
Does a cracked basket really matter?
Yes. Once the basket splits, leaves and debris go straight through to the pump, and a blocked or damaged impeller is a much larger repair than a basket.
