Hi, tk,
My experience in this area is with a 15 x 30 ft above ground pool, which we had and used for about 16 years. Lots of fun in it.
The first filter system used the old "filters", which after a year, got rid of. Replaced it with a sand filter system, with the plastic knob on top to turn to "normal", "backwash", "clean", etc.
When you say "filter basket", do you mean the filter is a "fibre type", or "cloth type" filter, such as similar to an auto' oil filter? If so, that's the type I had, that came with the pool from Sears.
I got rid of it; cause the filters kept clogging up. If this is the type you have, you need to replace the filters with new ones. I highly suggest getting a sand filter. I do wish you the best, and good luck.
