Quick Product Summary

The CMP 27182-009-000 Heavy-Duty U-3 Style Skimmer Basket is a replacement basket designed for compatible in-ground pool skimmers, including Hayward SP1070-style and Sta-Rite/Pentair U-3 applications. It measures approximately 8-1/4 inches across the top, 5-3/8 inches high, and 6-5/8 inches across the bottom. The heavy-duty weighted design helps collect leaves and debris while remaining seated in the skimmer during normal circulation.

Best For

• Hayward SP1070-style skimmers
• Sta-Rite / Pentair U-3 skimmers
• Replacing cracked or damaged skimmer baskets
• Pools with regular leaf and debris collection
• Upgrading from a lighter standard replacement basket
• Pool owners wanting a weighted heavy-duty basket

Why This Matters

• Helps stop larger debris before it reaches downstream pool equipment
• A damaged basket can allow leaves and debris to pass through the skimmer
• Weighted construction helps reduce basket floating
• Correct dimensions and replacement style are important for proper skimmer fit
• Matching the manufacturer part number helps reduce wrong-part orders

CMP describes its heavy-duty basket line as reinforced replacements, while distributor specifications for this part identify a metal weight intended to prevent floating.

Common Signs You Need This / Use This When

• Your existing skimmer basket is cracked or broken
• The basket handle is damaged or difficult to use
• The existing basket repeatedly floats or shifts
• Debris is bypassing a damaged basket
• Your skimmer calls for a U-3, SP1070, V22-110, or B-9 style basket
• Your existing replacement information identifies 27182-009-000

Product Specifications

CMP confirms the dimensions and comparison applications for 27182-009-000, and current distributor data confirms the UPC and white heavy-duty configuration.

Compatibility / Fitment Notes

CMP lists 27182-009-000 for U-3 style applications that compare to SP1070, V22-110, U-3, and B-9. Independent parts listings specifically document fitment with Hayward SP-1070 Series and Sta-Rite U-3 skimmers.

Before ordering, compare the existing basket or skimmer specification with the dimensions above. Similar-looking skimmer baskets can have different top and bottom diameters, so matching the style, measurements, and part number is more reliable than appearance alone.

Installation / Use Notes

Turn off the pool pump when inspecting or replacing the skimmer basket. Remove the existing basket, clear debris from the skimmer well, and place the CMP replacement basket into the compatible skimmer opening.

Confirm that the basket sits correctly and does not interfere with the skimmer lid or internal components. Empty leaves and debris regularly to maintain unrestricted water flow through the skimmer.

Buy with Confidence

Benchmark Pool Supply helps customers identify replacement pool parts by manufacturer number, dimensions, equipment style, and actual application. Skimmer baskets can look very similar even when their measurements differ, so confirming 27182-009-000 and the U-3/SP1070 style before ordering can help prevent an incorrect replacement.
