Hayward SPX1082N2 Handle Replacement for Select Hayward Automatic Skimmers

This was exactly what I needed at a nice competitive price. Perfect fit and good quality.

No complaints. The handle, although a bit pricy, was just like the original and easy to install. I expect it to last just as long as the original. It is plastic, so you can't be too rough with it though.

Fit my skimmer basket perfectly after the original broke. Glad was easy fix.

Works fine as needed. Overpriced.

Purchased this spring, to replace the bar that broke when we opened the pool. Perfect fit for our Hayward skimmer basket, and much cheaper than replacing the whole basket. In my experience, the baskets are usually good for 5 years+, but be prepared to replace this handle once every one to two years, if you pull the basket by the handle, especially with a hook. (We do, as creepy crawlies tend to get trapped in the basket, then go running when pulled out of the suction.) One other note...I like that there's a slight peak in the top side of this handle. Gives less chance of spiders or other things grabbing on and being able to stay out of the basket.

The handle is the Achilles heel of these skimmer baskets: they break easily. For years I was told that one can only replace the whole basket but cannot buy the handle alone. I threw away several good baskets that had a broken handle.No more. I am happyWhile the handle is steeply priced for what it is, considering the shipping cost, the saving compared to buying a new basket and the fact that one does not need to pollute the environment by discarding completely good baskets when the handle breaks makes this a winner.

Finally I found these. As you know these things break to often leaving one with a useless basket. No more!! I love it!
