Superior fine filtration: A fine mesh filter basket captures hair, dust, small algae particles and other debris before they reach the pump or main filter, keeping the pool water cleaner and reducing maintenance needs. Efficient debris collection: The basket is designed to gather larger objects such as leaves and twigs at the bottom, improving overall filtration efficiency and making removal faster and simpler. Easy to clean: Lift the filter basket out for quick, hands-free cleaning. Recommended maintenance is to clean the filter every 4–6 weeks for optimal performance; inspect and clean more frequently during heavy use or high debris periods. Durable construction: A full ABS plastic frame supports the fine filter layer securely and prevents breakage during handling and regular use. Long service life: With normal care and periodic cleaning, the fine filter can last approximately 2–3 years. Key benefits (why you need it) Keeps pool water clearer by trapping fine and coarse debris before it clogs pumps or filters. Reduces time and effort spent on manual skimming and costly pump maintenance. Durable materials and simple cleaning lower the total cost of ownership. Important attributes Function: Fine mesh filtration basket for pool debris capture and containment. Material: ABS plastic frame with fine filter layer. Performance: Captures hair, dust, algae particles, leaves and small debris; improves filtration efficiency. Maintenance: Lift-out basket design; clean every 4–6 weeks; expected lifespan 2–3 years. Practical use scenarios 1) After a windy day or seasonal leaf fall: place the filter basket in the skimmer or filter housing to trap leaves and prevent them from clogging the pump, then lift and empty the basket for fast clean-up. 2) After pool parties or heavy swimmer use: the fine mesh quickly captures hair and small particles that would otherwise circulate through the filtration system, helping restore water clarity sooner. 3) Routine pool maintenance for residential pools: use the basket as part of your weekly pool care to reduce strain on the main filter and extend the life of your pump and filter components. Note: Follow the recommended cleaning interval and inspect the basket regularly for damage. Replace the filter if the mesh or frame shows signs of wear to maintain filtration performance.
