Zodiac leaf catcher I bought it because it replaces a Hayward catcher that did not really fit my Zodiac Baracuda pool vac line (different diameters.) It does catch debris just fine. BUT,one of the selling points was that you do not need to remove the vac line and canister from the pool, in order to get at the basket for cleaning. What they didn't tell us is that the basket traps debris around its exterior not on the inside of the basket like one would expect. So if one opens the cansiter while it is still submurged some of t... read more

Not Great It will catch gravel/dirt any heavy stuff but leaves go in and comes right back out.

Leaks air Unfortunately, it leaks air into the suction. Something is wrong with the gasket so that it does not seal. I had one of these for many years, and it worked great, but this new one is mostly useless.

P o s Basically turned out to be a POS the base does not stay latched to the top part and is constantly falling off into the bottom of the pool so right now there's none on my pool so I could buy another one

not as good as it's brother Zodiac Cyclonic Leaf Canister I had a Zodiac Cyclonic Leaf Canister for about 4 years and loved it, this model is not as very not built to last the plastic is very thin. The lock on the cover comes off a little too easy. mesquite leaves are not stopped as well, the thin leaves go right through the screen. And the canister is too small for a large pool. my advice is don't try to save a few bucks! get the Zodiac Cyclonic Leaf Canister .One thing I do like about it is the clear plastic makes it easy ... read more

Two Stars It seems that a great deal of the debris just passes through the trap and on down the line.

Poor design, won't buy again. Poor design of gasket material allows air to be sucked into canister. Useless without constant supervision. This is our second one, thought first one just wore out, but this one same out of the box. Don't waste your time.

Not good Too small for unenclosed pools, and when the mx8 cleans the sides of the pool it sometimes sucks air. When the mx8 sucks in air, the leaf filter fills with air and floats. If it floats upside down, as it often does, air is sucked in through the valve on the bottom of the leaf catcher. When that happens, you must intervene. It will not fix itself.

Do not buy! works well but the latching to close it breaks very easy. Have spent $60 a piece for 2, and both have broken in the exact same spot. Avoid this product.
