1. A method of treating water of a swimming pool, the swimming pool having a skimmer well, the skimmer well adapted and configured to receive at a top of the skimmer well, a flow of water containing a collection of debris from a surface of the swimming pool, the skimmer well having a drain at a bottom of the skimmer well, the method comprising:
inserting a water treatment device into the skimmer well, the water treatment device having an upper portion defined by a solid wall and a lower portion having at least one aperture on a side of the lower portion, the lower portion configured to permit the water to flow out of the lower portion, a bottom of the lower portion spaced upwards from the bottom of the skimmer well, so that the bottom of the lower portion will not block the drain of the skimmer well;
directing all the flow of the water from the swimming pool into the upper portion, and straining all the water with a basket located in the upper portion, the basket accumulating at least some of the debris strained from the water, the basket having a plurality of side apertures and being spaced inward from the solid wall, and straining the water through the plurality of side apertures of the basket when the accumulated debris blocks a bottom of the basket;
flowing all the strained water from the basket to the lower portion and chemically treating the water in the lower portion with a chemical treatment device located in the lower portion; and
flowing all the water from the lower portion to a space between the bottom of the lower portion and the bottom of the skimmer well, and then to the drain of the skimmer well.
