ADMIRAL S20 TAPERED SKIMMER BASKET
Product Overview
Molded precisely for Pentair Admiral S20 skimmers to eliminate float and bypass under heavy pump suction.
Engineered by Super-Pro as a direct replacement for Pentair Admiral S20 skimmers, this tapered basket seats flush to prevent debris from slipping around the collar and into your plumbing. The heavy-duty chemical-resistant plastic resists brittle cracking from high chlorine exposure, while the built-in handle allows quick debris emptying without touching trapped leaves and pests.

When To Use This
Pro Tip
Slip an inexpensive skimmer sock over this basket during pollen season or when vacuuming fine algae to catch micro-debris before it reaches and clogs your sand or cartridge filter.
Common Questions & Instructions
Will this basket fit skimmers other than the Pentair Admiral S20?
This basket is specifically molded for Pentair Admiral S20 models. While it may fit other units with identical throat dimensions, measuring your existing skimmer collar diameter and depth before purchase ensures an airtight seal.
How often should an S20 skimmer basket be replaced?
Most commercial and residential baskets last 2 to 3 seasons, but you should replace it immediately if cracks appear along the bottom rim or if warping allows leaves to bypass the mesh into the pump pot.
Why does my skimmer basket keep floating up when the pump turns off?
Trapped air or lightweight debris can cause unweighted baskets to drift up when suction stops. The tapered profile of the S20 helps it seat securely, but adding a small clean stone or a weighted basket disc keeps it pinned.
