Product details
This is the Astral 05280R0400 skimmer basket in white, a round tapered plastic basket used across a number of Astral in ground skimmers. It is also listed under the substitute part number 4402010504.
Dimensions
The basket measures 8 in. across the top and tapers to 6 in. at the bottom, standing 4-13/16 in. tall. The top has flat edges: 7-3/4 in. between them, with a flat side length of 2-1/4 in. and a top lip 7/16 in. wide.
Confirming the fit
The quickest check is the basket you already have. The original is molded with 05280-0401 on the bottom and 05280-0402 on the handle. If those numbers match and the dimensions agree with your skimmer throat, this is the right basket.
Why it matters
Everything the skimmer catches passes through this basket first. Once it cracks or the rim distorts, leaves travel on to the pump strainer, and what gets past there ends up at the impeller. Replacing the basket is the cheapest protection the circulation system has.
