  • ARG Heavy Duty W-Style Skimmer Basket | BHD019

Q: How do I know if this basket fits my pump?
A: Match the basket’s shape and size to your existing Challenger-style basket and confirm against the pump’s parts diagram. If your current basket is listed as Challenger-style, this is the heavy duty replacement.

Q: Can I run the pump while waiting for a new basket?
A: You shouldn’t. Running without a basket lets debris go straight into the impeller and plumbing, causing clogs, seal damage and potential pump failure.

Q: How often should I clean the pump basket?
A: At least weekly under normal conditions and after storms or heavy debris events. More often if you notice the basket filling quickly or flow dropping at the returns.

ARG Heavy Duty Challenger Pump Basket | BHD219

ARG BHD219 heavy duty pump basket for Challenger-style pool pumps. Durable replacement strainer basket traps debris before it reaches the impeller and plumbing.

Features

  • Heavy duty replacement basket for Challenger-style pump strainer housings (verify with your pump parts diagram)
  • Reinforced construction resists cracking and blowouts under heavy debris loads
  • Deep basket helps protect the impeller and pump seals by catching debris before it enters the volute
  • Open grid pattern maintains strong water flow while trapping leaves and other junk
  • Lift-out design makes routine pump pot cleaning quick and straightforward
  • White basket body makes dirt buildup and stress cracks easy to see during inspections

Description

The ARG BHD219 Heavy Duty Challenger Pump Basket replaces tired, brittle baskets in compatible Challenger-style pool pumps. Installed in the pump pot, this basket is the last line of defense before the impeller, catching what your skimmer baskets miss so it does not end up packed into the volute or plumbing.

Lightweight baskets tend to crack at the bottom or along the sides after a few seasons of being yanked, dumped and reinstalled. Once that happens, debris bypasses the basket completely. The BHD219 uses a heavier-duty design built to handle real-world use, with an open grid that keeps water moving to the pump even as the basket fills. The result is better protection for the pump and fewer surprise flow problems.

Pro Tip

Make checking the pump basket part of your regular equipment walk-through. Clean it before it is packed full and inspect the plastic while it is out. If you see chalking, thinning or hairline cracks, replace it before it fails. Never run the pump without a basket in place; one bad load of debris can destroy seals, bearings and, eventually, the pump itself.
