2-Pack 8in Weighted Pool Skimmer Baskets with 316 Stainless Handles

Product description

What you get: Two complete 8-inch skimmer baskets designed to replace the factory strainers in popular pool skimmers. Each pack contains two identical baskets ready to swap in as needed.

Compatibility and size: Engineered to fit Hayward SP1070/SP1070E and Pentair U-3 (U-3 series) skimmer housings. Exact dimensions are 8.23in across the top, 5.83in across the bottom, and 5.24in deep, so you can confirm fit against your existing unit.

Construction: The basket body is molded from thick, heavy-duty plastic to resist daily wear, while the pull handle is made from 316 stainless steel for improved corrosion resistance in pool environments. A weighted insert is integrated into the base to keep the basket submerged and prevent it from floating or shifting when water moves through the skimmer.

Performance: A fine grid pattern captures leaves, hair and small debris without overly restricting flow, which helps reduce pump strain and keeps water clarity high with minimal maintenance. The handle lets you lift and empty the basket quickly during routine cleaning.

Support: If a defect in materials or workmanship appears within 12 months of purchase, the manufacturer offers a replacement to address the problem promptly.

Pros

  • Built-in weight keeps basket submerged for better debris capture
  • 316 stainless steel handle resists corrosion and eases removal
  • Fine mesh traps small debris while maintaining flow

Cons

  • Weights are press-fit and may detach over time for some users
  • Plastic body (not full metal) may not suit all preferences
  • Can require force to remove when fully seated

VerdictThese dual skimmer baskets offer a robust, practical replacement for compatible Hayward SP1070/SP1070E and Pentair U-3 skimmers. The weighted base helps them remain seated so debris collection is more consistent, and the fine-mesh pattern preserves circulation while catching small material. The 316 stainless steel handles add corrosion resistance and make removal simple. Overall a solid everyday o

Reviews

  1. Sheyla Wright 5/5

    Fits perfectly

    Fits my skimmer without any issues.

  2. finalatom 1/5

    Weight attachment problem

    Bought two and liked the metal handle and weighted idea. It worked at first, but after a few months the press-fit weights popped loose after temperature changes. Poor design in that area.

  3. Desert Customer 5/5

    Solid fit and easy to handle

    Works exactly as expected. Fit was perfect and the weight keeps it in place. The stainless handle makes lifting and emptying simple.

  4. JaydeeReader 5/5

    Exactly what we needed

    Arrived as expected and was exactly what my husband ordered.

  5. Vaughn Myles 5/5

    Does the job

    Simple and functional. Did the job.

  6. Tina M 5/5

    High quality construction

    Matched the skimmer perfectly. The weighted bottom and solid handle feel durable and well made.

  7. Pat Clary 5/5

    Great for filter socks, sturdy handle

    These are a great size for filter socks. The handle feels solid and it takes a bit of effort to pull out, which I prefer. Weighted bottom eliminates the need for improvised weights.
