CMP Skimmer Basket B37 – Replacement Basket for American Products & Pentair Skimmers
The CMP Skimmer Basket B37 is an OEM-quality replacement skimmer basket designed to restore proper debris collection and water flow in compatible in-ground pool skimmer systems. Installed inside the skimmer housing, the basket captures leaves, debris, and surface contaminants before they reach the pump and filter, helping protect circulation equipment and maintain efficient pool operation.
A worn, cracked, or poorly fitting skimmer basket can allow debris to bypass the skimmer, clog plumbing lines, or damage pump components. Replacing the basket with the CMP B37 helps ensure consistent skimming performance and proper suction at the water surface. This basket is commonly used in American Products and Pentair in-ground skimmers that share the same dimensional profile.
Manufactured by Custom Molded Products (CMP), the B37 skimmer basket is built to OEM specifications for dependable fit, durability, and long-term performance in residential pool environments.
Why the CMP Skimmer Basket B37 Matters
The skimmer basket is a primary line of defense for pool circulation systems.
Why this matters:
-
Captures debris before it reaches the pump and filter
-
Helps maintain strong surface skimming and circulation
-
Protects plumbing and pump components from clogging
A properly fitting skimmer basket supports cleaner water and longer equipment life.
OEM-Quality Fit for Common Skimmer Models
The CMP B37 skimmer basket is designed to fit many American Products and Pentair in-ground skimmers with an approximate 8 3/8 inch top diameter and 5 1/4 inch height. Its molded profile allows it to seat correctly in the skimmer well without restricting water flow or floating excessively during operation.
Using a basket with the correct dimensions is essential to ensure proper skimmer function and prevent debris bypass.
Durable Construction with Integrated Handle
Constructed from durable, chemical-resistant molded plastic, the CMP B37 skimmer basket is built to withstand constant water exposure, UV conditions, and repeated cleaning cycles. The integrated handle allows for easy removal during routine maintenance and debris disposal.
Its rigid design helps maintain shape and consistent performance over time.

Installation & Maintenance Notes
The CMP B37 skimmer basket installs directly into the skimmer housing with no tools required. Ensuring the basket sits flat and unobstructed helps maintain proper suction and debris capture.
Regular inspection and cleaning are recommended, especially during periods of heavy debris. If floating occurs when the pump is off, adding a small weight or using a lid retainer ring can help keep the basket seated.
