Quiptron Skimmer Basket

Skimmer Basket to suit Quiptron Skimmer Boxes

A replacement leaf basket for the Quiptron skimmer box from Pentair (Onga). The basket sits in the skimmer under the lid and catches leaves and debris before they reach the pump strainer and pump.

Some retailers list SK900, SK950 and SK1000 parts under the Quiptron name, but those skimmers take different baskets. Check the size of your old basket using the rule below.

• Physically Stocked, unlike most "drop-shipping" websites.
• Shipped from VIC, NSW, WA, QLD

The Quiptron Twist-Lock Rule (QTN-1.0)

Check your old basket in under a minute:

1. Switch off and open. Switch the filter pump off and lift the skimmer lid.
2. Release the old basket. The Quiptron basket locks into the skimmer with a twist (bayonet) action. Twist it to release it, then lift it out.
3. Measure the rim. Measure straight across the top rim, outside edge to outside edge. The Quiptron basket is about 170 mm across and about 118 to 120 mm tall.
4. Rule out lookalikes. A basket about 187 to 190 mm across is the SK900 / SK950 type. A small basket about 140 mm across is the SK1000 type.
5. Confirm. If yours is about 170 mm across and locked in with a twist, this is your basket.

Guide measurements

• Across the top rim: about 170 to 171 mm
• Across the base: about 135 mm
• Height: about 118 to 120 mm

Measurements for this basket type vary by a few millimetres between moulds, and depending on whether the rim, tabs or handle are included, so use them as a guide alongside the product photos.
