Engineered as an “inverted” style skimmer basket, it positions the basket entry downward to improve debris retention and optimize water flow through the skimmer throat. Constructed from robust, chemical-resistant plastic with a rigid handle for easy removal, this basket helps protect your pump and filter from clogging while ensuring efficient skimming performance. Ideal for inground pool skimmer systems that require a high-capacity basket to keep water cleaner and reduce maintenance intervals.\u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ms-1 inline-flex max-w-full items-center relative top-[-0.094rem] animate-[show_150ms_ease-in]\" data-testid=\"webpage-citation-pill\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"913\" data-end=\"927\"\u003eHighlights\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"928\" data-end=\"1769\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"928\" data-end=\"1109\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"930\" data-end=\"1109\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"930\" data-end=\"958\"\u003eInverted Debris Capture:\u003c\/strong\u003e Downward-oriented design enhances debris retention and prevents light debris from escaping back into the pool.\u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ms-1 inline-flex max-w-full items-center relative top-[-0.094rem] animate-[show_150ms_ease-in]\" data-testid=\"webpage-citation-pill\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1110\" data-end=\"1295\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1112\" data-end=\"1295\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1112\" data-end=\"1140\"\u003eHeavy-Duty Construction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Made from durable, chemical-resistant plastic to withstand continuous exposure to pool water and regular cleaning.\u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ms-1 inline-flex max-w-full items-center relative top-[-0.094rem] animate-[show_150ms_ease-in]\" data-testid=\"webpage-citation-pill\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1296\" data-end=\"1469\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1298\" data-end=\"1469\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1298\" data-end=\"1329\"\u003eProtects Filtration System:\u003c\/strong\u003e Traps leaves, twigs, and other floating debris upstream of your pump, reducing strain and clogging.\u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ms-1 inline-flex max-w-full items-center relative top-[-0.094rem] animate-[show_150ms_ease-in]\" data-testid=\"webpage-citation-pill\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1470\" data-end=\"1613\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1472\" data-end=\"1613\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1472\" data-end=\"1493\"\u003eEasy Lift Handle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Built-in rigid handle makes basket removal and cleaning simple, even when full.\u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ms-1 inline-flex max-w-full items-center relative top-[-0.094rem] animate-[show_150ms_ease-in]\" data-testid=\"webpage-citation-pill\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1614\" data-end=\"1769\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1616\" data-end=\"1769\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1616\" data-end=\"1639\"\u003eWide Compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Designed for common inground pool skimmer throats that accept inverted basket replacements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"238\" data-end=\"259\"\u003eAdditional Info\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"260\" data-end=\"696\"\u003eThe Swimables SW-91-099 Inverted Skimmer Basket is designed for inground skimmer systems that use downward-facing debris collection baskets.
