U.S. Pool Supply Weighted Inground Skimmer Basket (Set of 2) – Compatible with Hayward SPX1070E, 8-inch Top, 5.5-inch Bottom, 5-inch Deep

The U.S. Pool Supply Weighted Inground Skimmer Basket comes as a practical two-pack designed to replace common inground pool skimmer baskets. Each basket measures 8 inches across the top, tapers to 5.5 inches at the bottom, and is 5 inches deep, a size that fits many standard in-ground pool skimmers. This set is built to handle routine yard debris and everyday pool matter, making maintenance simpler for pool owners who want consistent filtration without frequent basket changes.

Reliable debris filtration at the source

Designed with a weighted base and built in anti float weights, these baskets stay seated at the bottom of the skimmer even when the pump is off or the basket is empty. This behavior helps prevent floating debris from escaping into the pump area and reduces the need to chase a loose basket around the pool deck. The result is steadier water flow and less time spent clearing clogs in the line and pump housing.

• Large leaves and fine debris are captured before they reach the filtration system
• Help maintain optimal water flow, supporting pump and filter longevity

Wide compatibility and durable construction

The baskets are designed as a common replacement size and are compatible with several skimmer models. They fit Hayward SPX1070E and related wells, as well as Bermuda and SwimQuip style units. Before purchasing, confirm your skimmer opening and depths match these baskets.

• Compatibility includes Hayward SPX1070E SPX1071 style skimmers and similar wells
• Made from chlorine resistant materials that tolerate sun and pool chemicals

Two baskets, ongoing value

With a durable, sturdy design, these baskets are built to withstand regular pool chemical exposure. Instead of brittle plastic, you get reliable performance season after season, backed by a two component set that makes replacements straightforward during routine maintenance. When you replace worn baskets, you may notice easier cleaning, fewer clogs, and more consistent skimmer performance.

• Two weighted baskets included
• Dimensions and weight help keep debris in the basket
• Potentially smoother pool maintenance with fewer interruptions

Practical use tips

For best results, empty and rinse the baskets regularly and inspect for cracks. Keep the anti-float weights clear of debris to maintain seating. Use during seasonal cleanups to avoid contamination of the pump.
