WARNING 
AVOID DAMAGING YOUR PUMP
PUMPS NOT EQUIPPED WITH HAIR AND LINT STRAINERS SHOULD ONLY BE USED IN
CONJUNCTION WITH A SKIMMER WITH A STRAINER BASKET. The strainer basket is
designed to collect debris, such as leaves and twigs, and prevent them from clogging the
pump chamber.
Your skimmer’s strainer basket should be in place whenever your pump is operating,
especially when vacuuming the pool floor.
If you live in an area where smaller debris, such as pine needles, may enter your pool, you can
purchase skimmer basket liners which easily install over your existing basket. These basket
liners can capture much smaller debris than the standard basket and are reusable.
It is important to check and clean your basket regularly to ensure an adequate flow of water
to your pump. Failure to do so will cause your pump to run dry and overheat. This situation
can cause permanent damage to your pump.
