CMP 27180-009-000 Skimmer Basket – Replacement for Hayward-Style Skimmers

Part # 27180-009-000 — a high-quality replacement skimmer basket designed to fit Hayward SP1070, SP1071 and U-3 style skimmers (also compatible with some Sta-Rite models). This basket provides reliable debris capture and maintains flow for effective skimming operation.

Key Features

  • Fits top diameter approximately 8¼″, bottom outside dimension about 5¾″, and height around 5⅛″.
  • Durable reinforced plastic construction designed for long service in pool conditions.
  • Generous open area to allow proper water flow while trapping leaves, twigs, and debris before pump suction.
  • Easy to install — simply remove the old basket from the skimmer housing and insert this replacement.
  • Designed as a direct replacement for several OEM baskets including Hayward SP1070-series and equivalent Sta-Rite models.

Typical Applications

Use this skimmer basket when the original has cracked, warped, lost its handle, or the flow has been visibly restricted by deformities. Ideal for routine pool maintenance or as part of full skimmer servicing.

Installation & Compatibility Notes

Turn off the pump and skim-mode suction; remove the skimmer lid and the old basket. Clear any debris from the skimmer throat and housing. Insert the new basket ensuring it seats flush and the handle is fully accessible. Replace the lid and resume normal operation. Confirm the basket is properly capturing debris and the pump suction remains stable.

Why Choose This Basket?

Selecting the CMP 27180-009-000 gives you a proven replacement option with the correct sizing and compatibility for common Hayward-style skimmers. It helps maintain proper circulation, reduces risk of debris bypassing into the pump, and supports longer component life.

Maintenance Tips

  • Check the basket weekly during heavy leaf/ debris seasons and every 2-3 weeks under lighter load.
  • Remove debris (especially long leaves and strings) to prevent clogging and reduce pump stress.
  • Inspect the handle and basket rim for cracking or wear—replace the basket at first signs of damage.
  • During liner replacements or major clean-outs, remove the basket and inspect the skimmer throat and weir for damage or misalignment.
