User questions & answers

Question:	Will this fir waterway renegade? Looks close
Answer:	This basket is awesome. I never need to stick my hand down in dirty water filled with who knows what. The handle is super sturdy and helpful. I didn’t know if it was too tall for my pool but it fits nicely
Question:	I noticed the reviews that have a weighted bottom, however does it open from the bottom to empty
Answer:	It does not open from the bottom. You turn it upside down to empty like most other baskets. The Weight they use seems to be just enough to keep it from floating up to the surface. I no longer need to put a rock in my skimmer basket. It's a nice product. Mine is a few years old now and still looks like new.
Question:	How far does the handle come up from the basket
Answer:	About 6.75" from top of basket. Or about 12 1/4 from base. Easily fit into my skimmer well.
Question:	Can this be used with a skimmer sock
Answer:	I had to look and see what a skimmer sock was. Look at the pictures and judge for yourself. It looks like if the diameter of the sock matches the diameter of the basket, then it would work, except that the handle will be in the way. But it looks like you could work around the handle. The handle does mount on the inside of the basket with two screws from the outside, if that isn't clear in the pictures. In other words, you'd have to stretch the sock around the handle in that area. Does that help?

User questions & answers

Question:	I have a Dough boy 30 ft pool and need a new skimmer basket. Can you tell me which one would be the one to buy for this size pool
Answer:	Hi, yes you have to unplug the unit after use. You may check other details of the unit by visiting our website pyleaudio.com. Type the model number on the search box SLISAU30BK for more details. Thank you.
Question:	Does this basket have flat spot on the upper rim parallel to the metal bar
Answer:	It depends on your goals. Infrared saunas are super trendy now BUT beware cheaper versions may expose you to high EMF frequncies. Steam rooms are traditional old school. Very good for clearing pores and cleansing skin. If you add natural oils like eucalyptus the steam is good for your lungs. Infrared is more whole body cleanser so if you want something traditional for skin and lungs, steam is best. If you want a mre general cleanse and you’re not worried about EMF then infrared might be what you want. Personally the EMF thing bothers me but not everyone.
Question:	Is the handle weighted
Answer:	Hi, it is manufactured in China. Thank you.
Question:	What are dimensions
Answer:	Hi, our sincere apologies. Please try to unplug the unit to the power source for a few minutes. Set the temperature of the unit again the check if it is working.

User questions & answers

Question:	This basket looks exactly like what we have, though our model number doesn't have the X in the number. Is this the same basket
Answer:	I believe you’re referring to what serves as the floor of the sauna. You’ll definitely want to put that in. It catches the sweat so you can mop it up easily.
Question:	Can you use this skimmer socks with this model? It looks like the handle could get in the way, but it might be removable
Answer:	My wife and I both set it on 140 for 30 minutes and come out dripping, sometimes more and sometimes a bit less but sweat pours out of every part of the body. I am sure on 150 it would start sooner and maybe too hot for us. It takes a few minutes for the heat to build and the heaters do cycle on and off it seems to me. But I have yet to see a time when I didn't get really hot as time went by. Expecting it to be like a volcano vent and drench you with almost unbearable heat instantly is not going to be realized.
Question:	HAYWARD SPX1070E dimension
Answer:	Yes 👍Mine is on the carpet and no problems.
Question:	What are measurements
Answer:	It comes with the sleeping bag but no cover

User questions & answers

Question:	Is the diameter measured across the flange
Answer:	The best way is the easiest. The center tower unscrews for shipping and store stocking. So what I do to ensure the sock never gets sucked into my filter or pops off and loses effectiveness. And so I NEVER have to clean the basket, and throw the whole thing away. I unscrew the center tower and then put the sock over the end with the thread, like you are putting a hand into a mitten. Then pull it as tight as you can. Then while it is tight screw the center tower back into the basket. This traps the sock between the two pieces and on the inside of the basket. Then pull the elastic edge of the sock around the outside lip and it will create an indentation. The sock can never come off, and it keep you from ever touch anything. When it is time to clean. Unscrew the center tower pull of the edges of the sock and throw the whole mess away. Simple easy and with socks less than $1 each cheap and I don't have to call a repair man when the sock slipped off and messed up my pump and filter.
Question:	Will this fit any pool 7" skimmer basket
Answer:	Check the listings on Amazon. There may be one out there of the size you want.
Question:	What are the measurements for this basket
Answer:	I love this sauna and use it for detoxing. Detox is an important part of weight loss, however, I'm not sure that I'd say the sauna alone can be the one-and-only weight loss tool. You definitely sweat, which is so great for your skin, pores, and overall health.

User questions & answers

Question:	I have the critter skimmer covers, and wondered it the handle would interfere with the spiral that comes into the skimmer basket? Does it lay flat
Answer:	I did not design this product, but my best guess is that the weight was molded into the product so it would not, could not come loose from the bottom of this basket. If the weight feature of this pool skimmer basket were removed a gaping hole in the basket bottom would result and debris in pool water could not be captured. The weight is designed to prevent the basket from floating up and unseating itself from the round skimmer opening, thereby ensuring it remains in position to capture pool water debris before it can be sucked into the pool filter. Hope this helps.
Question:	Will this replace the Hayward spx 1082ca? Someone on that q/a suggested this as better, but measurements look off to me
Answer:	Seems good quality. I was pleasantly surprised that the basket has a weight attached to the bottom to keep it in place. The handle seems study too.
Question:	Does the handle pull off too easily like my plastic one
Answer:	Doubt it. When I go to my local pool store for supplies, there is no shortage of skimmer baskets on the shelves. What I did was measure the basket I had previously purchased at said pool store and compared it to the dimensions in the Amazon description and it was a perfect match. Fits well in my skimmer. Hope this helps.
Question:	I noted one comment that the unit is slightly smaller-- how small? I need a diameter of 81/4 inches. Also, is the unit at all flexible? Finally, is it heavy duty
Answer:	The info on the listing is not correct this manufacturer and model number is not black or made of metal. Product sp-hp by GVT is as the original picture shown.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will it work if I have groves for skimmer basket cover to screw in a bit
Answer:	Never tried it. I assume if the wooden handle is removed, the metal part should be fine under 425 F.
Question:	Does anyone know if this (version 2) is significantly better than the original? I have ver. 1 which is ok but always looking for better. Thanks
Answer:	It should work! I use it to pick up the tiny little ants that blow thru the cage screen with the rain in SW FL. They are miniscule and this net picks them all up on the first pass! Grass clippings should be no problem!
Question:	Can this be used on an inground pool
Answer:	I bought my net as a replacement for one that was worn out and falling apart. You have to read what is included when you buy. There are several nets with the poles included on Amazon. I think there are also poles available for sale. Almost all of the receivers in the poles are the same. You can use the same pole for a brush, net, or vacuum. I have 3 poles, but I really like the smaller pole that the net is on, so I just switch the net for the brush when I need it.
Question:	The adjustable mouth for water intake; the wider the gap the faster the water flow
Answer:	It's very fine mesh... will pick up most small particles. It should get the gnats with no problem.
