Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will this fit my pool skimmer?
A: This basket is designed for Paramount SP5000 pool skimmers. Measure your existing basket (223mm top, 145mm height, 150mm base) or contact us with your skimmer model and we will confirm before you order.
Q: How often should I empty the skimmer basket?
A: At minimum weekly, or more frequently during autumn when leaf fall is heavy. A full basket restricts water flow and reduces skimmer efficiency.
Q: Can a broken skimmer basket damage my pump?
A: Yes, debris that bypasses a cracked or missing basket can reach your pump impeller and cause blockages or damage. Replace promptly at the first sign of cracking.
Q: Can I use skimmer socks with this basket?
A: Yes, the SP5000 is a large basket and is compatible with the Aussie Gold Mega Skimmer Socks for finer debris capture.
