Skimmer Basket to suit Poolrite S1800 (Old Style) Skimmer Boxes

A replacement leaf basket for the Poolrite S1800, the old style Poolrite skimmer box. It sits in the skimmer under the lid and catches leaves and debris before they reach the pump strainer and pump.

The S1800 Base-Hole Rule (PRO-1.0)

Poolrite's old and new style baskets are different sizes and do not swap. Check yours in under a minute:

1. Switch off and open. Switch the filter pump off and lift the skimmer lid.
2. Remove the old basket. Lift the old basket straight up and out of the skimmer.
3. Check the base. Look at the base. The S1800 old style basket has a hole in the centre of the base.
4. Measure the rim. Measure straight across the top rim, outside edge to outside edge. The S1800 basket is about 210 to 214 mm across and about 150 to 160 mm tall.
5. Rule out the new style. If your basket is noticeably bigger, about 226 to 230 mm across and 200 mm or more tall, it is the new style S2500 type. Order the Poolrite Skimmer Basket S2500, 2600, 2700 (new style) instead.

Guide measurements

• Across the top rim: about 210 to 214 mm
• Across the base: about 125 to 130 mm
• Height: about 150 to 160 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.

Signs your skimmer basket needs replacing

• Cracks or splits in the side wall or base, letting leaves through to the pump
• Broken rim tabs or lugs, so the basket no longer sits or locks in place
• Plastic that has gone pale, chalky or brittle
• A handle that has snapped off
• The pump basket keeps filling with debris the skimmer should have caught

Before you order

• Compare your old basket with the product photos and the guide measurements above.

Frequently asked questions

Will this basket fit my Poolrite skimmer?
It suits the Poolrite S1800, the old style Poolrite skimmer box. The newer S2500, S2600 and S2700 skimmers take a larger basket, so compare your old basket with the guide measurements before ordering.

How do I tell the old style basket from the new style?
The old style S1800 basket has a hole in the centre of its base and is smaller: about 210 to 214 mm across the top and about 150 to 160 mm tall. The new style S2500 type basket is about 226 to 230 mm across the top and about 200 to 205 mm tall.

Is this the same as the basket in my pump?
No. A pump basket sits in the pump's strainer housing under the pump lid. A skimmer basket sits in the skimmer box at the edge of the pool. Pump baskets are listed under pump basket strainers.

What if my old basket does not match?
Send us a photo of the skimmer with the lid off, a photo of the old basket and its measurements, and we will help you find the right one. Contact us.
