GVT SP-HP Skimmer Basket, Metal, White

Why did you pick this product vs others?:My old skimmer basket (5 years +) bit the dust last week, when it cracked and came apart. Took a quick glance through Amazon and without measuring or anything I eyeballed this basket and was pretty certain it was the right one. It came in today, and lucky me, it was exactly what I needed. (That usually backfires)Easy to assemble. Good quality, hard solid plastic, should last for years to come - very reasonable / cheap Price. Oh, and I have Jandy pool equipment “stuff” that this worked with.

I just bought a new one after 5 years of use which for plastic pool parts is pretty impressive I think. It split on the side and needed to be replaced. Hopefully the new one will be of similar quality.

Because having that handle means you don't have to stick your hand in the muck and leaves that ends up in the skimmer basket. This one is replacing a basket I've had for years, but over this last winter the upper lip broke off which allowed sludge to make it past the basket and end up at the filter. Yes, this one is just like the one that ultimately broke, but I had years of use out of the last one and I expect the same from this basket.

I purchased this, and it shipped incomplete. It was missing the middle tower. I requested a replacement item, and it also came incomplete missing the same part. The basket isn't packaged separately, it just shows up loose in the shipping box.Amazon refunded my money, and I'm going to buy something else. But manufacturer support is useless. It directs to a website that sells appliances, and doesn't even list the item in its catalog.

Fit is tight at the widest point. But otherwise performs well.

This basket is AWESOME. Strong plastic and the center access to water is amazing. I had two weak plastic baskets that got full and stuck. I'm so happy. This is the BEST!

seems stronger than the one I had --good product and fit is correct for the skimmer

All skimmers need this instead of the basket type!
