Review: Perfect fit - Our original skimmer bucket kept getting stuck so we ordered this. It’s a solid pice that works well and has improved the function of our skimmer and how it sucks water. Definitely cheaper than our local pool supply store and worth every penny.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does anyone know if this has a second set of locking tabs, that fit the matching slots on the basket? Only one set is visible in the photo.**
A: It has two sets.  You have to line it up twice to lock it together.  Its perfect for our set up and it works great with no problems.

**Q: Can you give me the outside diameter size, inside diameter size and the height?**
A: There is a return flange on the top of this skimmer so there are two IDs:  5-3/4" & 4-9/16".  The OD is 5-15/16" and the height is 7-13/16".  Hope that helps.

**Q: The one I am replacing has 3 tabs Does this one have 3 tabs ?**
A: No it has more than 3. When I purchased this I was looking for the 3 tab one as well so I couldn't even use this

**Q: I just received this, it has no locking tabs, just a smooth tube. Is this unit defective? Will it work without the locking tabs?**
A: If the locking tabs are not on the unit it will not work properly. I would recommend returning I and getting a replacement.
