Compatibility / Fitment Notes

The Swimables SW-91-009 is designed as an aftermarket replacement for Pentair / Sta-Rite U-3 08650-0007 and is also listed as a replacement for Hayward SPX1070E. The same U-3 basket style has several industry cross-references, so matching the existing part number and basket dimensions is recommended before purchase.

Do not select a skimmer basket solely by appearance. Confirm the top diameter, bottom diameter, height, and existing skimmer application.

Installation / Use Notes

Remove the existing skimmer basket and compare the replacement dimensions before use. Place SW-91-009 into the compatible skimmer so the basket is fully seated and the built-in weight is positioned at the bottom.

Check and empty the basket regularly to maintain water flow. Shut the circulation system down before reaching into or servicing the skimmer if required by the equipment manufacturer's instructions.
