Zodiac CLC500 Cyclonic Leaf Catcher
About this business
Not effective Loose fitting top allows air into the line. Doesn’t work correctly and removed from the equation. Wasted time and money.
Sucks in air seal fails Beware this leaf basket failed after 4 months of use, it never would sit straight because it would always suck air because the lid doesnt seal properly. It kept getting worse till my pump lost prime because the seal failed.
POOR QUALITY. Really poor product.The top lid never twist,-locked into place so it would not seal and cause a suction loss in my skimmer. Only upside was they accepted a return of the product with full refund.
Well, it works for a few months..... It was working for a few months like a champ and then the o-ring did not seal anymore the canister. I expect this after a couple of years but not months. Well, I got today a model from the competition for half the price....
Dissapointed, poor design...will not buy again I always wanted one of these, so was very disappointed when it didn't perform well in actual use. The Hayward W560 leaf canister is much better and cheaper! $30-$40. Tip on Hayward: move O-ring to top of canister for easier emptying.

sucks up too much air This thing will flip sometimes and suck up tiny bits of air....so in order for it to work better I have to put it on the bottom part of the hose by the ground sweeper and put the pool filter setting on low.

Hose tangles... My robot just ties knots when I put this in a regular section of hose. It's easy enough to clean but useless without being inline.
