What is a skimmer basket in a pool?

The skimmer basket is a part of a pool's filtration system that is located in the skimmer, a device installed on the wall of the pool. Its function is to trap and retain debris and floating objects before they reach the main filtration system.

Why is it important to keep the skimmer basket clean?

Keeping the skimmer basket clean is crucial to ensuring efficient operation of the filtration system. If the basket is clogged, water flow is reduced, which can affect the filtration and cleaning ability of the pool.

How often should I clean the skimmer basket?

The frequency of cleaning the skimmer basket will depend on the amount of debris and dirt present in the pool. In general, it is recommended to check and clean the basket at least once a week during the active bathing season.

What should I do if the skimmer basket is clogged?

If the skimmer basket is clogged, the pool pump should be turned off before attempting to clean it. The debris is then removed and the basket is rinsed with water to remove any sticky residue.
