Waterco/Nally Skimmer Basket

Skimmer Basket to suit Waterco S75 and Nally Skimmer Boxes (Press-Fit Type)

A replacement leaf basket for Waterco S75 and Nally skimmer boxes that take the press-fit basket, without lock-down recesses in the rim. It is often listed as the S75 MKI basket. The basket sits in the skimmer under the lid and catches leaves and debris before they reach the pump strainer and pump.

Waterco S75 skimmers that take the lock-down basket need the Waterco Skimmer Basket (lock-down) instead. The two are close in size, so check the rim of your old basket using the rule below.

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

The S75 Lock-Down Check (S75-1.0)

Waterco S75 skimmers take either a press-fit basket or a lock-down basket. They are close in size, so the rim tells them apart:

1. Switch off and open. Switch the filter pump off and lift the skimmer lid.
2. Remove the old basket. Lift the old basket out. Lock-down baskets are turned a quarter turn to lock and release.
3. Check the rim. Look at the top edge. A lock-down basket has a flat top edge with recesses that line up with lugs on the skimmer body. A press-fit basket has no recesses.
4. Choose the basket. No recesses: this press-fit basket is the one you need. Recesses: order the Waterco Skimmer Basket (lock-down) instead.
5. Check the size. Both are about 202 to 210 mm across the top and about 130 to 136 mm tall. A much wider basket, about 222 mm across, is the Paramount SP5000 type.

Guide measurements

• Across the top rim: about 202 to 208 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

• A handle that has snapped off
• The pump basket keeps filling with debris the skimmer should have caught

Frequently asked questions

Which skimmers does this basket suit?
Waterco S75 and Nally skimmer boxes that take the press-fit basket, without lock-down recesses in the rim. It is often listed as the S75 MKI basket.

What is the difference between this and the lock-down Waterco basket?
The lock-down basket has recesses in a flat top edge and is turned a quarter turn to lock onto lugs in the skimmer body. This press-fit basket does not lock down. The two are close in size, so check the rim of your old basket. The lock-down type is listed as the Waterco Skimmer Basket.

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.
