Generic Skimmer Baskets... I don't want to pay $20 a piece!

Hi Jon

That is steep, but look on the bright side... I priced replacement lids for my ancient Sylvan skimmers and they wanted $45.00 EACH.

Look at it this way, how often do you buy skimmer baskets? If you use those skimmers baskets for the next ten years, that's $2/season. Not bad when compared to getting a new impeller put in your pump because the old one is getting messed up with too much depris getting through your old busted up skimmer baskets.

Just a thought. I hate the inflated prices too, but sometimes investing now can be the lesser of two evils. Prevention is often less expensive than repair/replace.

Have you tried EBAY? Maybe just try a goolge search for your specific part and see what hits you get. Try using the descriptor "white goods." which is an industry term for all things skimmer and outlet related
