Installation Notes
Turn off pump and relieve system suction. Remove the skimmer lid, extract the old basket, clean the cavity and throat for debris or buildup. Insert the new 519-3240 basket ensuring it seats flat and flush. Replace lid and restore flow. Check that water flows freely into the basket without bypass around the rim.
Maintenance Tip
Inspect the basket each service visit for cracks, warping, or damaged ribs. Empty and rinse the basket regularly. Replace immediately if you observe cracked ribs, missing sections or noticeable flow loss through the skimmer. Proper basket maintenance helps protect your pump and ensures effective skimming.
