Know before you buy
This basket is specifically designed for Hayward SP1250 skimmers and is compatible with the Hayward SPX1250RA pump model. We recommend checking your existing basket's model number or measuring your skimmer housing to ensure it matches the 5-inch height and diameter specifications provided.
The basket measures 5 inches in height, with a top diameter of 3-13/16 inches and a bottom diameter of 3-7/16 inches. These dimensions are standard for the Hayward SP1250 series.
Yes, it is constructed from durable ABS plastic. This material is specifically chosen for its resistance to the harsh environment of pool water and common sanitizing chemicals.
The color is primarily aesthetic, though some pool owners find that the bright blue hue makes it easier to spot the basket inside the skimmer housing when it is time for cleaning.
You should replace your basket if you notice cracks, brittle plastic, or holes in the mesh that allow debris to pass through. Replacing a damaged basket promptly is essential to prevent debris from clogging your pump impeller and causing mechanical failure.
