Skimmer Basket Broke

[Helltech]

Hello, so my skimmer basket basically shattered (it was very old and brittle), I'm not sure how to go about finding out how to replace it? I found one website "aqua-man.com" but it didn't help. The top diameter is 4 1/4 in, and it seems to be either 5in, or 5 1/2 inch in height depending on how you measure it.

Here is a link to a few picture of it, if it can help.

Do you know what brand the pool or skimmer is?

Are there any identifiers or numbers on the skimmer, lid, basket, etc. that could be used to identify the brand and model?

 

[Helltech]

Yes there are, just uploaded a picture;

Doughboy - "Standard Thru-Wall Skimmer" - Model 2091-03

That's part # 1300-1002 it's ~ $17 from Doughboy.

Oh duh, I was on the Doughboy website but didn't realize it was only showing "top products". Thank you so much.

Shipping is 13 dollars, how lame.

Is there a dealer in your area?

Now that you know the dimensions (height, width at the top & bottom) & the model #, you can shop around online for a generic that might be a better bargain. Given the cost of gas these days, reasonable shipping charges are worth it.

Cheers!
