ZodiacCyclonic Automatic Pool Cleaner Leaf Catcher Canister

Works as described, catches all the leaves and blooms that fall into the pool from my neighbors yard. Quick and easy to set up and clean it when needed. Worth the money, totally!

Worked great and avoided plugging the skimmer and pump baskets. My pool start up cleaning was much easier with this unit. Works as described

I just replaced mine after ~8 years! the old one had collected some algea in the nooks and crannies, and the internal basket cracked after one too many heavy loads of leaves (this caused high back pressure inside the canister, distorting the basket).The only things that seem to need servicing are the basket, which must be emptied fairly often, and the bottom rubber one-way valve, which degrades over time. You can buy replacement rubber valves here, and they are easy to replace.This is the best leaf canister attachment for suction-side cleaners that I have used. It takes a while to fill up to the point where flow to the pump is impacted. The cyclonic action is key to allowing it to fill up evenly. The only thing I would change is to redesign the molded blue exterior lid to feature fewer deep nooks on top that can collect hard water scale and algae. I have used this with non-zodiac cleaners by installing hose adapters at the inlet and outlet.

It works well. Easy to install. Saves me time with not having to constantly clean the filter at the pump. Would recommend it to others.

I wish I had replaced my old leaf canister with this years ago. It is so easy to open and clean, and it cleverly drains out of the bottom when you take it out of the water - so you don't spill debris into the pool.
