Steps to Clean a Pool Skimmer Basket
-
Remove the Skimmer Basket: The first step is to take out the skimmer basket from the skimmer housing in your pool.
-
Empty Debris: Once removed, empty out any leaves or debris that you find in the skimmer basket (0:20). According to the reference, you might find leaves and debris. The amount can vary; for example, if you have a screen enclosure, you might not find small animals or toys in there (0:20-1:23).
-
Rinse (If Necessary): If there's stubborn debris, rinse the basket with a hose to dislodge it.
-
Replace the Basket: Put the cleaned skimmer basket back into the skimmer housing.
That's it! Regular cleaning of your pool skimmer basket will help ensure proper water flow and filtration for your pool.
