Pool Skimmer Brand

I have an above ground Hayward pool, approximately 30 yrs old, the skimmer basket and door flap are broke. I cant find one.

All the new skimmers are square, the old one is square with an oval at the bottom. The new baskets are all round, the old one is flat on one end then is oval shaped. I cant find one that will work.



Hi Kenny. It sounds like you have a Doughboy brand skimmer. I would find a doughboy dealer near you and see if it matches. It sounds like it should. It is also possible it is a Lomart, they are very similar. A Doughboy dealer should also be able to get a Lomart skimmer if you need one.

The only other possibility I know would be an older Muskin skimmer, but it sounds more like a Doughboy or Lomart.

But, you say you have a Hayward pool. They would have only used one of their own skimmers. Hayward is a large, well known, manufacturer of pool parts. You could contact them and see if they have what you are looking for.

Many different brands of pools use Hayward filter equipment, including many Doughboy dealers. So if you are just seeing Hayward on the filter, and no where else, you probably do not have a Hayward pool. In which case I would look the pool over really good and try to find a brand name. Either that or post pictures and I could tell you exactly what you need.
