Solid product that works best with this simple fix
We recently purchased a home with a pool which had an older version of this canister; we bought this new canister to replace it and have used it now for about five weeks.My review consists of (1) the PROS, (2) the main CON, and (3) a super simple fix you can do to eliminate the CON. With the con fix in place, I love the product; before the fix, I was about to get rid of the thing. Five stars, minus one for having to do the fix.PROS:When it works properly, it's great. Captures leaves, debris, long hair, etc. which would otherwise go directly into the side suction and clog up the filter over time. The observable cyclonic action of the captured debris clearly indicates a strong suction. Easy to rotate and pop off the lid periodically, remove the trap, and dump out the leaves. Visually, looks nice and clean.CON:As at least one other reviewer has noted, the canister does not want to stay upright in the pool. On several occasions I have come out to see it inverted to the point that part of its bottom gasket is above the water line; this sucks air into the system and causes our priming pot and pump to run dry. Bad news.Here's why this happens: as the pool vacuum moves around the floor and the suction line follows along throughout the day, the hose twists and untwists; this also causes the hose to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise ever so slightly where it joins to the canister. That imperceptible rotation, over time, moves the canister out of its upright position. Left unchecked, it can rotate so much that the canister partially inverts above the water line.The company's suggested solution for a less-than-vertical orientation: gently rotate the coupling hoses so that the canister floats vertically again. Yeah, OK, but I don't want to do that multiple times a week, nor do I want to obsess about the canister inverting itself and running my priming pot dry. Annoying.CON FIX (see pics):With the pump running, I made sure the canister floated upright; as needed, I rotated the white suction hoses ever so slightly in either direction to get the canister as vertical as possible. Once satisfied, I turned off the pump and pulled the canister up just above the water line.Using a screwdriver tip, I lightly scored a small hash mark on the hose ends and canister connectors to mark the matching locations of each. (I did this so that in the event the hoses twisted when I took the canister fully out of the water, I would know where again to line them up properly.)Next I took the canister of the pool completely with the hoses still attached. Having ensured the hash marks still lined up, I then screwed two small stainless sheet metal screws to join the white hoses to the blue connectors on each side. Soft plastic, easy to drive in by hand.This cheap and easy fix makes it virtually impossible for the white hoses to rotate and keeps the canister upright all the time. Problem solved. Great product with this simple solution in place.
