Waterway 519-6450 Pool Skimmer Lid R1, Price/EA

Fit as it should

As a pool owner, I've gone through my fair share of skimmer baskets. They're one of those unsung heroes. After needing a replacement for my aging, cracked basket, I opted for the Waterway Replacement Skimmer Basket, and I've been genuinely impressed with its performance and quality. It is a perfect fit. This is often the biggest hurdle with replacement parts, but the Waterway basket fit my skimmer opening like a glove. No wiggling, no gaps  just a snug, secure fit that ensures all debris is directed where it should be. This perfect compatibility immediately put my mind at ease. The plastic feels significantly more robust and substantial than my previous basket. It has a good weight to it, and It's clearly designed to withstand the harsh pool environment (UV, chemicals, repeated removal). I'm confident this basket will last for several seasons. The design, with its well-sized holes, allows for excellent water flow while effectively capturing leaves, bugs, and other debris before they reach the pump basket. I've noticed my pump basket staying cleaner for longer, which means less frequent cleaning for me and potentially less strain on my pump. The smooth plastic surface makes it incredibly easy to rinse out. Debris doesn't seem to get stuck in any crevices, making the chore of emptying it quick and painless. Considering the quality of the material and the perfect fit, I found this replacement basket to be an excellent value for the money. It's an investment in smoother, more efficient pool operation.

Works as well as any other brand

This replaced my old skimmer basket perfectly. Fits as good as the OEM basket.

Arrived quickly. Fit my pool strainer perfectly.

I replaced two oridingal skimmer baskets that were thin and flimsy with these much better baskets. They are a bit thicker and a perfect fit for my in-ground pool. I highly recommend this product.
