My skimmer basket is in OK condition except for the brass handle. It broke off a week ago and I am having trouble getting the basket out of the skimmer. Can I purchase the brass rod separately and install?
Reply
This SwimQuip U-3 Skimmer basket is only sold whole. We apologize but the brass handle is not parted out for purchase.

I need a replacement skimmer basket. It measures 8" x 5" exactly. It is a Astral Pool basket. Do you carry that exact size?

Hi Kathie, you may have the Astral inground vinyl skimmer that looks to have a similar basket based on your dimensions on key letter B. Please review to better confirm.

is there a basket 8.50" wide?
Reply
Hi Allan, so there are many baskets with the same or similar dimensions. If you can provide us with the skimmer lid, basket, or weir door part number then we should be able to confirm the basket for your specific model skimmer.

(5 out of 5 stars) What an outstanding skimmer basket
Reviewed By: Jim H. from Edmond, OK ()
Behold the one of the finest incarnations of a skimmer basket available today. Nothing bigger than the holes in the basket gets through. The white plastic does just what white plastic should do on a skimmer basket. The included handle lets you handle it, just as a handle should do. This is a skimmer basket that you can purchase and then forget until you need to empty it. Once you've emptied it and returned it to its place you don't need to think of it again. And isn't that what we want from a white plastic skimmer basket with handle? Of course it is.

First time I replaced the original basket after the metal handle come off. The replacement is more durable and has a stronger more secure handle. Very pleased!

(5 out of 5 stars) Good quality - new go-to basket
Reviewed By: Brandon from Dallas, TX ()
Pros: Good quality, flexible plsstic
Cons: Metal handle fits kind of awkwardly into basket grooves
I have alot of leaves around my pool and my skimmer baskets get a workout as a result. I had been buying cheap-o $8 baskets from the local pool store, but the handle breaks off of them and the sides split in no time. These baskets appear to be much better quality and flexible plastic material. The handle is also metal, which is great. Give these a shot if you are tired of baskets splitting on you quickly.

Pros: fast delivery, fits perfectly
Cons: Not exactly as illustrated.
Basket fits perfectly. The handle to pull it out came as a steel rod across the center rather than the brass handle offset to one side so it could get in the way of emptying it.
