What Is a Pool Cleaner Filter Basket?
A pool cleaner filter basket is an onboard collection component that retains debris while allowing water to pass through its filter media.
What the Basket Does
The container holds captured debris. Filter media separates particles from the passing water. Some cleaners have additional fine-filter layers or separate bags, so basket capacity and particle-size rating describe different properties.
Aiper Product Context
Scuba S1 Pro and EcoSurfer S2 product documentation describe onboard debris baskets. Their basket designs and removal arrangements differ; the diagram is a general filtering arrangement.
Common Misunderstanding
The robot’s basket is different from a pool-wall skimmer basket or a pump strainer basket. An onboard basket also does not establish that the robot can sanitize water.
