Gteana 8-inch Inground Pool Skimmer Replacement Basket – Hayward SP1070/SPX1070E (Weights)

Overview

The Gteana 8-inch inground pool skimmer replacement basket is crafted to replace worn or lost baskets in Hayward SP1070 and SPX1070E skimmers. Featuring a weighted bottom, it helps maintain stability as water flows through the skimmer, aiding in debris capture from surface to pump. This is a practical upgrade for outdoor pools where seasonal debris and routine maintenance are part of daily care.

Size and fit

Important measurements to note: the top opening is 8.3 inches in diameter, the bottom diameter is 5.5 inches, and the overall depth is 5.7 inches. These dimensions describe a standard 8-inch skimmer footprint, but it’s wise to compare with your current basket or skimmer opening before purchasing.
