Pentair Skimmer Basket | SkimClean Skimmer | 513036

The Pentair Skimmer Basket (513036) is the OEM replacement debris basket for the Pentair SkimClean residential skimmer line.

The skimmer basket intercepts leaves, debris, and coarse particles before they reach the pump, protecting impeller performance and reducing pump strain. A cracked, warped, or missing basket allows debris to bypass filtration and enter the pump housing — replacing a worn basket at the first sign of damage prevents more costly downstream repairs.

Fits Into

Compatibility is based on Pentair parts documentation and available OEM records. This is not an exhaustive list. For certainty, verify the part number in your equipment's manual or on the original part itself before ordering.

Pro Tip

Before ordering, measure your existing basket — height and top opening diameter — and compare against the dimensions of this part. SkimClean skimmers may have been installed across multiple construction years; confirming the physical dimensions against your existing basket is the fastest way to ensure a correct fit. Inspect the basket for hairline cracks around the rim and base, not just obvious breaks — small fractures allow fine debris to pass through and are easy to miss on a quick visual check.
