Waterway Plastics 500-2690 Skim Filter Basket

Product Description

The WATERWAY PLASTICS 500-2690 is a replacement basket assembly designed for use with Waterway Dyna-Flo skim filters. The assembly captures debris before water reaches the filter media, protecting downstream components and maintaining flow efficiency. It includes a slotted diverter plate, which helps distribute water flow evenly across the basket and prevents bypass. Pool service technicians install this assembly as a direct OEM-style replacement during routine maintenance or when the existing basket becomes cracked, warped, or clogged beyond cleaning.

This basket assembly is suited for residential pool filtration systems equipped with Waterway Dyna-Flo skim filters. It is a common service item encountered during seasonal startups, post-storm cleanouts, and routine filter maintenance visits. The included slotted diverter plate is an integrated component of the assembly and replaces as a complete unit rather than as individual parts.
