Quick overview

  • Fits the U-3 skimmer The basket for the U-3 model skimmer sold under the Pentair, Sta-Rite and Swimquip names.
  • Handle included The molded handle comes on the basket, so you can lift a full basket out without fishing for the rim.
  • Sized to the pocket 5 1/4 in deep, 8 1/4 in across the top and 5 3/4 in across the bottom, matched to the U-3 skimmer body.
  • Tapered body The basket narrows from top to bottom, which is what lets it seat correctly in the U-3 throat.
  • Concrete and vinyl skimmers The U-3 was built for both concrete and vinyl pools and this basket serves either.
  • A cheap fix for weak suction A cracked or collapsed basket lets leaves pass through to the pump, so replacing it protects the pump strainer.

Product details

This is the replacement basket with handle for the U-3 model skimmer, the skimmer sold over the years under the Pentair, Sta-Rite and Swimquip names on concrete and vinyl pools. Pentair part number 08650-0007Z.

Measurements

The basket is 5 1/4 in deep with an 8 1/4 in top diameter and a 5 3/4 in bottom diameter. That taper is what seats it properly in the U-3 throat, so a basket from another skimmer will either sit high or drop through. If you are not certain which skimmer you have, measure the old basket at the rim first.

Why it is worth changing

A skimmer basket takes the first pass at leaves and debris. Once the mesh cracks or the rim splits, debris slips past and ends up in the pump strainer basket or, worse, wedged in the impeller. A basket is the cheapest part in the whole suction line and the one that protects everything downstream of it.

The handle

The handle is molded onto the basket. Full baskets are heavy and slippery, and a handle is the difference between a clean lift and dumping half the load back into the pool.

Questions and answers

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

Which skimmers does this basket fit?
The U-3 model skimmer, which was sold under the Pentair, Sta-Rite and Swimquip names on both concrete and vinyl pools.
What are the dimensions?
5 1/4 in deep, 8 1/4 in top diameter and 5 3/4 in bottom diameter. Measure your old basket before ordering if you are not sure which skimmer you have.
Is the part number 08650-0007 or 08650-0007Z?
Both appear on this part. The current stock number carries the Z suffix, and older references use 08650-0007 without it.
Does it come with a handle?
Yes. The handle is part of the basket, so there is nothing separate to attach.
