About this business
1.0 out of 5 stars O-ring failed quickly and seller provided zero help It failed very quickly
1.0 out of 5 stars Does not seal. This product does not work. We installed in with the Zodiac pool cleaner, and we constantly have issues. The canister does not seal properly, which causes air to be sucked into our system. We have troubleshooted the issue online, reached out to Amazon, and the seller. The seller would not offer a replacement, exchange, or return. Do not recommend.
1.0 out of 5 stars the seal does not seal properly when the cleaner pops up it will suck air The cyclonic leaf canister has some manufacturing issues , the seal does not seal properly when the cleaner pops up it will suck air and could cause pump damage . i am not sure but the best thing to do is report this to the maufatcturer . a workaround for me is to put a rock into the top of the basket to weight it down . even when i rotate the cleaner by hand at the pool wall it will eventually go sideways and suck air again. it is a... read more
Sucks air, ruined my pool pump ! This leaf catcher has Proprietary connection to connect to the Zodiac sweeper hoses, so no choice in leaf catchers or reusing regular one with standard hoses. This thing slowly floats to the surface and starts to collect air, slowly cavitating my pool pump and damaged it so I had to replace it shortly afterwards. It will cost you your pool pump ! This NEVER ever happened with numerous other leaf catchers I used with regular standard industry hoses. Others have reported this air leak that you ... read more
Million pieces Thing about this canister is it breaks up leafs that could just easily be in the basket to take out instead of breaking into a million pieces that get sucked into the pump basket and then into your filters. The whole point is to get the leafs out of your pool and not ever travel to the cartridges. This helps break up the debris causing the cartridges to clog pretty fast. Stick with the Hayward W560. It keeps the leafs intact and easier to take out without causing a mess with a million pieces everywhere. This c... read more
Sucks air in Flips on its side and sucks in air.
Lasted me 4 years In Arizona Summer Before It Disintegrated & Died It does the job well until it dies. The unit lasted me 4 years. With time, plastic disintegrates, deforms, doesn't seal well, and eventually cracked. So budget to buy every 4 years.
Frequently Loses Seal and Lets Air In I've had this leaf canister for 5 months now and am dissatisfied. Too many times I've discovered my pool system not running properly because air gets into the canister and then gets stuck in the pool's piping. I'm afraid to leave the vacuum connected when I'm away from home because it's bad for the pool motor to operate with air in it. Furthermore, I've read that the canister is supposed to float level... if that means the blue top should be flat to the water, that never happens... the c... read more
Would not seal properly. Easy to install but kept sucking air, which prevented circulation and causing algae to grow. I have never had to brush and check my chemicals as often using this filter. I removed it today, too bad it's just out of its warranty/return date.
