Manufactured to ARG’s original construction standards, the BHD069 attaches securely to the basket to provide a stable lifting point that resists flexing, cracking, and chemical exposure during routine service. Its extended reach design improves accessibility, allowing users to remove baskets more comfortably without struggling to grasp the rim of the basket below the deck surface. Compatible with ARG basket models BHD009 and BHD019, the BHD069 helps streamline debris removal and supports reliable performance throughout regular maintenance cycles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"1148\" data-end=\"1166\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1152\" data-end=\"1166\"\u003eHighlights\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"1167\" data-end=\"1940\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1167\" data-end=\"1335\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1169\" data-end=\"1335\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1169\" data-end=\"1197\"\u003eRugged Pool-Grade Build:\u003c\/strong\u003e Constructed from durable materials designed to withstand sunlight, sanitizers, and routine use without weakening or cracking over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1336\" data-end=\"1495\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1338\" data-end=\"1495\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1338\" data-end=\"1364\"\u003eExtended Reach Handle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Adds height for easier access into deeper skimmer wells, improving leverage and reducing strain when lifting heavy debris loads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1496\" data-end=\"1646\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1498\" data-end=\"1646\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1498\" data-end=\"1528\"\u003eStable, Locked Attachment:\u003c\/strong\u003e Connects firmly to compatible baskets, creating a wobble-free grip that stays in place during removal and cleaning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1647\" data-end=\"1807\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1649\" data-end=\"1807\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1649\" data-end=\"1681\"\u003eFaster Service and Cleaning:\u003c\/strong\u003e Helps homeowners and technicians remove skimmer baskets more efficiently, reducing time spent on routine debris collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1808\" data-end=\"1940\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1810\" data-end=\"1940\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1810\" data-end=\"1839\"\u003eDesigned for ARG Baskets:\u003c\/strong\u003e Built specifically for ARG models BHD009 and BHD019, ensuring accurate fitment without modification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eARG BHD009 Baskets\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eARG BHD019 Baskets\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"3089\" data-end=\"3108\"\u003eAdditional Info\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3109\" data-end=\"3398\"\u003eThis FAQ helps customers confirm compatibility, check nearby stock, and understand how the ARG BHD069 Heavy Duty Skimmer Basket Extension Handle improves routine maintenance.
