Turn off the pump and relieve suction before servicing the skimmer. Remove the skimmer lid, lift out the old basket, inspect the skimmer throat and cavity for damage or debris. Insert the new V50-105 basket, ensuring it seats properly, then replace the lid and restore circulation. Check for proper skimming and debris capture.
