LIFE SAVER! i tell you. if it wasn't ... LIFE SAVER! i tell you. if it wasn't for this canister i would be dealing with the pump basket none stop especially in the fall.
Included Vac Hose adapter is TOO LARGE diameter to allow a standard pool vac hose to connect as intended!!! Supposed to be able to work attached to standard pool vac hose (with included adapter)... But the adapter included to SUPPOSEDLY allow standard vac hose to device is the SAME EXACT both INNER AND OUTER diameter as the connection collar of the standard manual pool vacuum hose connecting collar... It is 100% IMPOSSIBLE to get a standard manual pool vac hose to connect onto the included adapter that is supposedly to allow... read more
Lots of leaves? this falls short... This week catcher is poorly designed. I have a lot of leaves in my pool. I’m very happy with a TR 2-D vacuum, but the leaf catcher leaves much to be desired. It doesn’t have a bag so dirt and small particles slip through. The cyclone is a good idea, but it takes up too much room in the canister. I’m out every two hours dumping the canister in the fall. Also, you can’t pull it off during operation. The system has to be turned off before you can empty the canister.
This is far better than the large in line basket I use to ... This is far better than the large in line basket I use to have. My pool is not caged in so i get a above average amount of debris in it. If you see the catch is not spinning it is time to empty. Very easy to empty, clean and replace as it does not allow so much debris and the spinning motion lets you know you are good to go. The only minor issue is making sure to have it position properly so the bottom of the basket faces down.
Leaks, doesn't float right, and is turning yellow. Regrettable purchase. This is a regrettable purchase. After all of the great reviews, I was excited to get this, but after about two months of trying to use it, I gave up. Contrary to what the videos/instruction say, I cannot get it to float vertically in the pool. Either it wants to roll over on its side, or it hangs out on an angle. I have attempted to reposition the hoses, but it hasn't worked. The cleaner leaks at the main o-ring near the top, causing air to get in and i... read more
Two Stars Allows finer material like broken leaves to pass. It breaks leaves into pieces itself.
Epic Fail with low-power, low-speed pumps Another leaf trap that floats and sucks air - the seal on this is horrible. The first time I installed this, I found it floating full of air - luckily my system was pulling water elsewhere. This issue is solved with weights, lots of weights. However, the bigger problem is that this thing does not adequately seal at lower pump rates. The seal is very dependent on suction. For my low power pump, this means that 90% of the time, there's not enough suction to keep maintain the seal - so ... read more
It seems fine, However I bought it with the Zodiac MX6 ... It seems fine, However I bought it with the Zodiac MX6 which is in my opinion horrible for my pool.
Poor investment Leaks air like a sieve, can't use it with my zodiac My pool guy told me there have been a lot of issues with air leakage Wish I had realized this sooner, I would have returned it
