Abstract

A filter includes a housing which removably receives a filter cartridge adapted to remove fine and coarse debris from water flowing therethrough. The filter is removably mounted in a skimmer well of a swimming pool in place of a conventional strainer basket. The interchangeability of the filter and the strainer basket permits them to be used selectively such that the strainer basket can be used during a pool skimming operation and the filter can be used during a pool vacuuming operation.
