We have a spa that overflows via a ~4.25" diameter drain down to the pool. The previous owners had a basket that sat in the drain and prevented leafs from falling into it. That basket started to disintegrate so I replaced it with a basket I found at Leslie's. The new basket seemed to fit fine but after even just a few leafs falls into the basket it gets clogged up and the water starts to rise in the spa to the point that it has almost overflowed a couple of times.
I think the problem is the new basket is straight and the last basket may have been tapered. Also the new basket has much smaller holes. I have tried drilling larger holes into the new basket but that doesn't make a difference.
I need to track down the correct basket for this setup or at least a better basket. Everything else on the pool is Hayward so I'm thinking this could also be a Hayward product.
See the attached photos. Any ideas?
I appreciate it!
