Product Description

Keep leaves and large debris from clogging your pool's filtration system with the Hayward W560 Large Capacity Leaf Canister. Designed for use with Hayward PoolVac Ultra® and Navigator® automatic pool cleaners, this canister captures leaves, twigs, and other large debris before they reach the pump basket or filter, helping improve cleaning efficiency and reduce maintenance.

The canister's superior bypass design allows water to continue flowing freely even as debris accumulates, ensuring proper suction and cleaner performance. Its durable Lexan® clear body provides instant visibility, allowing you to quickly determine when the canister needs to be emptied without disassembly.

Easy to install directly into the cleaner hose system, the W560 is an essential accessory for pools with heavy leaf loads or frequent debris accumulation. The large-capacity design reduces the need for frequent emptying, helping keep your automatic cleaner operating at peak performance.

Where in the hose line should the leaf canister be attached?
 Reply

A  Answered on 4/9/2009 by InyoPools Product Specialist Patrick P.

According to Hayward, you would have one hose coming out of the skimmer and the W560 would connect to the end of this.

Can I use this w560 leaf cannister to keep leaves from getting into my lines or pump basket?
 Reply

A  Answered on 9/16/2014 by InyoPools Product Specialist Patrick P.

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.

Cleaned large filter. Opened and closed different valves to clean them out. Added leaf canister to keep pool sweep from bringing new debris to large filter.
