When to replace the skimmer basket handle

The handle is exposed to chlorinated or salt water, sunlight and mechanical stress every time the basket is removed.
Over time the plastic can become brittle or the ends can deform and no longer hold securely in the basket rim.

• Replace the handle if one or both ends have snapped or no longer clip firmly into the basket.
• Replace the handle if it has become very stiff, cracked or discoloured due to ageing.
• Replace the handle if the basket is difficult to remove because the original handle is missing.
• Keep spare handles from the pack available for quick replacement during the season.

Installation and maintenance guidelines

• Remove the skimmer basket from the skimmer throat and place it on a stable surface.
• Unclip the damaged handle from the basket rim by gently flexing the ends out of their slots.
• Align the new handle with the original fixing points on the basket.
• Insert one end of the handle into its slot and flex the arch slightly to clip the second end into place.
• Check that the handle pivots freely and can fold down inside the basket without catching on the skimmer body.
• Rinse the handle periodically with fresh water to remove deposits and extend its service life.

With a correctly fitted BWT Aquareva handle, the skimmer basket can be removed easily and safely, which encourages regular cleaning and supports
good surface skimming and overall filtration performance.
