U.S. Pool Supply Pool Leaf Catcher - Heavy Duty Inline Pool Leaf Canister, Vacuum for Inground Cleaner - Cleaning Filter Basket & Mesh Bag, Catch Leaves Debris, Compatible Replacement for Most Brands

It'll take one adapter for the hose fittings that's not included, but otherwise, it works as advertised. The key for me was the fine mesh net so the smallest debris doesn't pass through and clog up the filter. Easy to disassemble and clean. Letting it dry out after use and storing it out of the sun will help it last longer. I've used it twice in about three months and it still looks new. I would buy this again.Update: 9/8/22 (after 4 months) - I've used the canister 3 times in the 4 months I've had it and it has worked fine until the 3rd time. I had a little more debris than normal and after about 5 minutes, the canister imploded, and developed 2 vertical cracks along the canister body and 2 stress areas. Since the product has a 1 year warranty, I submitted the warranty claim on line and contacted TCP Global customer service ( agent for US Pool Supply products) the next day. I was overwhelmed with the positive response I got. The representative verified my purchase information and said they would be sending out a whole new unit, not just a replacement canister. I received the replacement unit 2 days after contacting TCP Global in a box marked "Rush". Just amazing, what great customer service. I can unquestionably give a 5 star recommendation for products sold by TCP Global/US Pool Supply. I still give the canister 4.5 stars. It works, but the plastic canister could be a little stronger. My thought about why the fractures occurred in the first place is that there probably was too much negative pressure from the debris in the silt bag. If you are picking up a lot of fine sand or silt, you should empty the bag several times during a cleaning session.

Saves debris from plugging the filters.

I bought this unit, their 1-1/2" x 36 Foot vacuum hose, and a short extension to go into the skimmer.The 36 foot vac hose does NOT fit into the top of the canister as they state it will in their description. The shorter extension does fit the base of the canister but the other end is only 1 1/4" and is too small for the skimmer intake. I could not find adapters to make them work so I'm just return it and the short hose.The irony is US Pool's other canisters do have the adapters included. Would be nice if they'd sell those separately, or better still, included them with this unit.

It was very easy to install. Opening and closing it is a bit strange and hard to manage with 2 wet hands, but definitely doable. My only concern is the durability and longevity of the latching mechanism. I've had pools for over 20 years and I am used to latches and other moving parts becoming brittle over time and failing, wheras I've had better luck with threaded parts. We'll see.

Did the job for me, it's XL size vs others, I dont need to clean it as often. My failed after a year, i am in Florida, it's hot and i keep it in the pool pretty much all year round. The canister still intact but the rubber gasket on the top failed. If i were to find replacement rubber gasket i think it could still last me for another year, overall happy with it.

The unit works but after one year the O ring gasket broke. I can still tighten the top, but there is a little air that leaks into the line. I don't see anything about being able to purchase a replacement O-ring gasket. I use a little duct tape to help, but that is not a good solution. The rest of the unit has been just fine, but performance is now compromised for a small piece.

Excellent price and fast delivery

Ease of cleaning

con este artefacto limpias mas rapido la alberca sin abrir a cada rato el filtro de la bomba cumple m¿uy bien su funcion lo idoneo que viniera con sus acoples

I love love this product, it has saved me so much time and effort I have it just before the skimmer on the vacuum line. I use it with the kripy crawler and the hand vacuum. I can see when the leaves and other have filled the basket and do not have to keep going to the pump house to shut off the pump to empty the basket.even when the basket is full the water can still get around and doesn't slow down the filter.amazing product. wish I had purchased it many years ago

I was in two minds whether to get this or not as it costs more than I was really prepared to pay, but I couldn't find a decent alternative. It took a while to arrive in the UK, but I'm very pleased with it. The whole thing seems well made and it worked straight away with little fuss. I needed an extra length of hose to connect it to the skimmer, but once that was done I could use this.After some building work we had a lot of grit in the pool, and this saved me having to allow it to go into the filter. I also used it to lift the leaves in the water which saved netting them out before I could vac it. So, I'm pleased I got this canister, and I'll probably use it everytime I have leaves in the pool when cleaning day comes around.

No adaptor for hose included.

Excelente , muy fácil de usar
