It is filed with the Aqua Genie in ground skimmer parts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe handle\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe handle is formed into the basket rather than fitted as a separate bail. That matters more than it sounds: a full skimmer basket is heavy and wet, and a clipped on handle is the thing that lets go at exactly the wrong moment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy it is worth replacing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe skimmer basket is the first filter your pool has. Everything that blows onto the surface gets caught here rather than in the pump. A basket with a split side or a broken rim passes that debris straight through, and the next thing it meets is the pump basket and the impeller.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBefore you order\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBaskets are not universal. Compare the diameter, the height and the rim of your existing basket against this one, since the wrong size either drops through or will not seat.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hydra Pools Div Of Pi Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48634599669972,"sku":"HYD-251-0130","price":37.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/default_c42bca5c-9f3f-4198-b0b3-f874e1811670.jpg?v=1788835278","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/skimmer-basket-w-molded-handle","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
