Frequently Asked Questions

What does a leaf canister do?

It installs inline in your suction cleaner hose and catches leaves, twigs and large debris before they reach the pump basket — reducing blockages, protecting the pump, and maintaining consistent suction.

Will the Pentair 802100 fit my suction pool cleaner?

It is designed for suction-type pool cleaner hoses and compatible with most suction-side automatic cleaners. Install between two hose sections. Contact us if you need to confirm fit for your specific cleaner.

Can I use it with manual vacuuming?

Yes — install between two sections of your manual vacuum hose to intercept debris before it reaches the pump basket.

Small vs Medium — which do I need?

The Medium canister holds more debris between empties and suits pools with heavy leaf loads or nearby trees. The Small is sufficient for most pools with moderate debris.

How do I clean it?

Snap open the lid, remove the mesh basket, empty the debris, and rinse with a garden hose. The transparent housing lets you check fill level at a glance.
