Keep the old basket’s identifying details
If the basket is already available, record its molded reference, rim shape and any handle or seating features. Tell the supplier whether you need only the basket or another skimmer component too. Do not use the lid’s color as a substitute for identification.
Ask about fit before arranging pickup
Have the seller confirm the intended skimmer application and return conditions if identification remains uncertain. A nominal dimension can help compare candidates, but you still need a verified reference or an explicit statement that the match is provisional.
What to have ready
- Skimmer reference and existing basket markings
- Basket only or additional skimmer components
- Fit confirmation and return conditions
A common question
Should I send the pump model for this request?
Identify the skimmer first. You can mention the wider system, but the supplier needs the assembly where this basket belongs.
