Product Overview
Keep routine pool cleanup manageable with the Pentair Bermuda Skimmer Basket, a genuine OEM replacement for compatible Bermuda skimmers. This basket collects leaves, insects, and larger floating debris as water passes through the skimmer, helping keep that material out of downstream circulation equipment. Its included handle makes removal convenient for regular emptying. Designed for Bermuda gunite and vinyl liner skimmers, it replaces a damaged or missing basket without requiring replacement of the complete skimmer assembly.
Ideal For
- Pool owners replacing a cracked, brittle, or missing Bermuda skimmer basket.
- Pool service professionals maintaining compatible gunite or vinyl liner pools.
- Pools exposed to leaves and other floating debris that require frequent basket cleaning.
Key Features
- Genuine Pentair OEM replacement for the Bermuda skimmer family.
- Basket and handle assembly for convenient removal during maintenance.
- Open basket design captures larger debris while allowing water to pass through.
- Removable construction allows collected debris to be emptied and the basket rinsed.
- Replacement component for servicing an existing compatible skimmer.
Benefits
- Helps intercept larger debris before it reaches the pump strainer.
- Makes routine skimmer maintenance easier with an accessible lifting handle.
- Restores debris collection when an existing basket is cracked or damaged.
- Allows replacement of the basket while retaining a serviceable skimmer body.
A clean, intact basket is an important part of regular pool care. Check it more frequently during windy weather, heavy leaf fall, or periods of increased debris.
What’s Included

The skimmer body, deck lid, collar, weir gate, vacuum plate, and float valve are separate components and are not included.
Confirm Before Ordering / Compatibility
Pentair lists this basket in its replacement-parts catalog for Bermuda gunite and vinyl liner skimmers. Confirm the skimmer family using the existing equipment identification or manufacturer parts diagram.
Do not select a replacement solely by the diameter of the deck lid. The basket must fit the internal basket seat correctly. If the skimmer model is unknown, compare the existing basket’s shape, seating rim, and measurements before ordering.
This is a skimmer basket, rather than a pump strainer basket. Those components serve different locations in the circulation system and should be matched separately.

Customer Q&A
Does this basket include a handle?
Yes. This replacement is supplied as a basket and handle assembly for convenient removal.
Will it fit every Pentair skimmer?
No. It is listed for the Bermuda family. Confirm compatibility before ordering for another skimmer model.
Does replacing the basket fix weak skimmer suction?
A replacement can address a damaged basket, but weak suction may have other causes. Check for accumulated debris and have persistent circulation problems evaluated.
When should I replace my existing basket?
Replace it when cracks, broken openings, or a damaged rim prevent it from collecting debris or seating properly.
