What customers say
This CMP Waterway Skimmer Basket earns high praise primarily for its exceptional fit and immediate quality. Customers consistently report it is an exact match for original equipment, ensuring optimal skimming efficiency and simple installation. The plastic feels robust upon arrival, often superior to the part it replaces. While initial construction is excellent, a few users note that intense sun or chlorine exposure may eventually cause brittleness after one or two seasons. Despite this common plastic limitation, the guaranteed fit and superior initial build make this basket a necessary and worthwhile upgrade for reliable pool system operation.
