Pump Basket

Level:
1 - Beginner

A pump basket is a critical component located within a pool pump, designed to capture debris before it can enter and damage the pump or clog the system. Positioned just ahead of the pump’s impeller, the basket acts as a first line of defense, collecting leaves, twigs, insects, and other material that makes its way through the pool’s skimmer and main drain. By preventing major clogs, the pump basket ensures efficient pump operation and contributes directly to the long-term health and performance of the entire waterscape.
