Can I use this w560 leaf cannister to keep leaves from getting into my lines or pump basket?
Reply
Yes this leaf cannister amongst a few other ones are designed to catch leaves and larger debris. This keeps debris from reaching plumbing lines, pump baskets and it even makes emptying it out easier being that it is right at pool level.

I intend on purchasing the Pool Cleaner 4 Wheel Cleaner and this leaf catcher.Can pool skimmer socks be used in the leaf catcher to catch small debris? Would it be better to get a skimmer cap with spout for the cleaner hose to attach to and have the skimmer sock in the skimmer basket? Thanks.

Hi Jerry, The Skimmer Socks can be used with this Leaf Canister, either option will work just as good.

Does this leaf canister work well for long Scotch pine needles?
Reply
Hello, This canister is designed for collecting leaves and larger debris before it gets to the pump basket. The holes are open enough to allow the occasional pine needle through. We have no specific information available to determine the effectiveness of this canister in relation to pine needles, but from a personal opinion viewpoint, you are adding another line of defense which is better than nothing.

I bought a Hayward leaf canister w560 .... all my pool hoses are 1 1/2 inch with the standard 1 1/2" hose cuffs. How do I make the connection from the leaf canister to the Hose .... the canisters odd connection with the two protrusions ( 1 5/8 " ? ) I tried several standard 1 1/2 hoses / adaptors nothing works. Can you advise ?
Thanks

I have a leaf catcher plumbed into my system just ahead of the pump that has a crack in it. Can the w560 be used to replace it?

Hi Jeff, These leaf canisters are not designed to be plumbed with pvc, you can use the Waterway Inline Filter or the Pentair Inline Filter.

Will the Hayward Leaf Catcher Part # @560 work with a Pentair Sand Shark Hoses?
Also, Do you have a leaf catcher that will set inside the skimmer and have connection to
the Pentair Sand Shark Hose?/?
Thnx, Mark O'Dell

Good afternoon Mark, This leaf canister will work with the sand shark hose. You can use a leader hose if you want to use it in the skimmer.

I cannot separate the canister from the cap to remove the strainer. Does it unscrew or does it pull apart. I was able to remove the clamp that holds the cap in place, but can't budge the clear plastic dome. What is the trick to separating the dome from the cap?
Reply
After you unscrew the ring you will be able to pull the cap off. It might be on there tight because of the pressure so you will have to use a little muscle.

Do these canister have to attached to a robot vaccum system via the skimmer or side suction? Or can they be attached in line with a manual vaccum head attached to a pole? If yes, then what type if any fittings are needed to complete the conections between the two hose ends and the canister?
Reply
That leaf canister fit in between the standard vacuum hoses so you would be able to use it on a manual vac, suction-side, or pressure side cleaner, robotic cleaner use their own filter system.

The W560 will not work with the Zodiac MX8. Part number W26705 would be the correct leaf canister for the MX8.

If I have 20 foot 1.25” hose connected to my filter what can I use to make the connection? I would buy a second hose to connect to the vac head, then place this between both hoses? Can you recommend any part numbers?

my pool has side3 input for the skimmer line. Do I put the canister on the first section of pipe?

Hi. This Leaf Canister has to be installed between the two sections of hoses closest to the skimmer.
