Abstract
A skimmer assembly includes a basket assembly and a housing. The basket assembly includes a basket and a handle rotatably coupled to the basket. The handle includes a first end extending outwardly from the basket and configured to rotate between a first orientation and a second orientation about an axis of rotation. The axis of rotation extends in a first direction. The housing includes an upper chamber, a lower chamber, and a wall disposed between the upper chamber and the lower chamber. The wall includes an aperture defined in part by opposed lateral walls configured to inhibit translation of the basket assembly in a direction transverse to the first direction when the first end is in the first orientation.
