Pentair R38013AZ Admiral Skimmer Basket for Floating Weir 85000100 B-37
Pentair R38013AZ Admiral Skimmer Basket for Floating Weir 85000100 B-37
The Pentair R38013AZ is the genuine OEM replacement basket for Admiral skimmers with a circular floating weir. It sits inside the floating weir and traps leaves and debris before they can reach your pump and filter. If your current basket is cracked or brittle, debris slips straight through to the pump strainer basket — this is the exact factory replacement that restores the skimmer's first line of defense.
🚩 PRO TIP: Check the fit before ordering — this basket measures 8-7/16 inches across the top ring and pairs with the R38013B circular floating weir. If your Admiral uses a flap weir with a tapered basket, you need the tapered basket (85014500) instead. Empty the basket weekly; a packed basket starves the pump and can make it lose prime.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
- Will the Pentair R38013AZ fit my Admiral skimmer? The Pentair R38013AZ fits Admiral skimmers that use the circular floating weir (R38013B), including S-10 and S-20 models, and measures 8-7/16 inches across the top ring. Admiral models with a flap weir use the tapered basket 85014500 instead.
- Does the R38013AZ replace part 85000100? Yes — the Pentair R38013AZ is the direct OEM replacement for the American Products 85000100 basket (also sold as R38013A) and matches the Aladdin B-37.
- Why are leaves and debris getting into my pump basket? A cracked or brittle skimmer basket lets debris bypass the skimmer and load up the pump strainer, which can restrict flow and make the pump lose prime. Replacing it with the Pentair R38013AZ restores the skimmer's first line of defense.
