W560 | Hayward Standard Leaf Canister For Suction Cleaner

OEM Hayward W560 Standard Leaf Canister is a rugged, see-through debris trap engineered to protect your pool's filtration system from large debris like leaves and twigs. Compatible with most suction-side pool cleaners and manual vacuums using standard 1.5-inch hoses, it captures debris before it reaches the pump basket, reducing strain on your system. The Lexan body allows for easy visual checks, and the wide internal basket ensures consistent water flow even when partially full. With a quick-release lid for hassle-free access, the W560 simplifies maintenance and boosts overall filtration efficiency.
