Quick Product Summary
The CMP Hayward 1070 / U-3 Style Skimmer Basket 27180-009-000 is a replacement pool skimmer basket designed for compatible Hayward® 1070 and U-3 style skimmer applications. CMP cross-references this basket to 08650-0007, SPX1070E, and B-9, making those numbers useful when identifying an existing skimmer basket or searching for a replacement. The basket captures leaves and other larger debris at the skimmer so it can be removed during routine pool maintenance before traveling farther through the circulation system. CMP publishes dimensions of approximately 8-1/4 inches across the top, 5-1/8 inches high, and 5-3/4 inches across the bottom. Before ordering, compare the part number, basket dimensions, and your existing skimmer configuration because similar-looking pool skimmer baskets can have different dimensions and fitment.

Compatibility / Fitment Notes
CMP identifies 27180-009-000 as a Hayward® 1070, U-3 Style Skimmer Basket. Manufacturer cross-reference numbers include 08650-0007, SPX1070E, and B-9.
Before ordering, compare the CMP part number, cross-reference number, and basket dimensions with the component currently installed in your pool skimmer. Similar skimmer baskets may look nearly identical while differing in top diameter, bottom diameter, height, or rim configuration.
This is a CMP-manufactured replacement part rather than a Hayward- or Pentair-branded OEM basket. Confirm your existing basket or skimmer model before purchase.
Installation / Use Notes
Remove the existing skimmer basket and compare its identifying numbers and dimensions with CMP 27180-009-000 before installation. Place the replacement basket into the compatible skimmer so it sits correctly without forcing it into position.
Empty accumulated leaves and debris regularly to maintain normal skimmer operation. Periodically inspect the basket for cracks, warping, or other damage and replace it when it can no longer contain debris properly.
Buy with Confidence
Benchmark Pool Supply helps pool owners and service professionals identify replacement parts using manufacturer numbers, dimensions, cross references, and practical pool-equipment knowledge. Pool skimmer baskets often look similar even when their fitment is different, so accurate identification can help prevent unnecessary wrong-part orders.
