How does a pool skimmer basket work?

A pool skimmer basket is a crucial piece of equipment for keeping your swimming pool clean and free of debris. It works by using your pool pump to draw surface and floating debris into the basket, while simultaneously preventing large objects from entering the filter system and causing damage.

The skimmer basket is placed inside the skimmer before water enters the pipe on the way towards the pump. Inside the basket, there are small holes that allow the water to be sucked in and filtered by the pump. The items that are trapped inside will then be emptied out on a regular basis to ensure maximum filtration of water.
