Where This Part Is Used

Typically installed inside skimmer assemblies, this basket sits behind the front faceplate to capture debris as water enters the system. It’s commonly used in Waterway skimmer configurations, aligning with the skimmer throat and return lines. By trapping debris before reaching the pump wet end, it supports smooth flow and reduces strain on the filtration path.
