Q: How do I know if I have a W-style skimmer?
A: Check your existing basket and the skimmer parts diagram. Many manufacturers call out the basket style and part number in their literature; match to W-style before ordering.
Q: Can I run the pump without a skimmer basket?
A: No. Running without a basket lets debris go straight to the pump basket and plumbing, which can clog or damage the pump.
Q: How often should I empty this basket?
A: At least once a week in normal conditions, and after every storm or heavy leaf drop. More often is better if your yard throws a lot of debris into the pool.

ARG Heavy Duty W-Style Skimmer Basket | BHD019
ARG BHD019 heavy duty W-style skimmer basket. Durable replacement basket for W-style pool skimmers; traps debris before it reaches the pump.
Features

- Deep basket captures leaves, bugs and larger debris before the pump basket

- Rugged construction handles frequent removal, dumping and reinstalling
- Simple lift-out makes daily or weekly maintenance quick and straightforward
- White basket body makes cracks and wear easier to spot during inspections
Description
The ARG BHD019 Heavy Duty W-Style Skimmer Basket is designed to replace weak or brittle W-style baskets that have seen too many seasons. Installed in the skimmer well, it acts as the first filter in your circulation system, grabbing leaves, insects and other debris before those can clog the pump basket or plumbing. The heavy duty construction is meant for real-world use, standing up to constant cleaning and handling.
Its open-weave design maintains water flow as debris builds up, helping prevent the system from starving for water between cleanings. The white plastic body lets you quickly see when the basket is dirty or developing stress cracks so you can empty or swap it before it fails and dumps debris downstream.
Pro Tip
Check and empty skimmer baskets regularly—at least weekly, and after storms or heavy leaf days. A choked skimmer can cavitate the pump, shorten motor life and damage seals. While the basket is out, run your fingers around the rim and bottom; if you feel sharp edges or see hairline cracks, it’s time to replace it instead of waiting for it to break under load.
