Swimables inline pool leaf canister W560 — clear debris canister for 1.5" hoses, twist-off lid, strainer basket

Swimables W560 is an inline pool leaf canister that traps leaves, twigs and large debris before they reach your pump, protecting filtration and improving circulation.

If you use a suction-side automatic cleaner, a reliable leaf canister prevents clogs, reduces pump strain and makes routine maintenance faster. The Swimables W560 is built to fit most 1.5" vacuum hoses and is designed as a drop-in replacement for the Hayward W560 PoolVac Navigator standard canister. Its transparent body and twist-off lid let you see collected debris and empty the strainer basket without tools.

How does this leaf canister protect my pump and filter?

The canister intercepts large debris before it reaches your pump and filter, reducing the chance of blockages and lowering wear on internal components. By catching leaves and twigs at the suction line, it helps maintain steady water flow and can extend the intervals between deep cleanings.

• Captures sizeable debris that commonly clogs skimmer baskets and filters
• Reduces strain on the pool pump by preserving suction flow
• Helps prevent damage to the cleaner’s hose and internal filter media

Will it fit my Hayward PoolVac or standard 1.5" vacuum hose?

The W560 model is engineered with a 38mm (1.5") outer diameter to match most suction-side hoses and is explicitly compatible with Hayward W560-style PoolVac Navigator units. Its connections are sized for a secure, leak-resistant fit so you can attach it to standard hoses without adapters in many setups.

• Designed for 1.5" (38mm) hose connections
• Compatible with Hayward W560 PoolVac Navigator standard canisters
• Lightweight construction for easy installation and removal

How durable and weather-resistant is the canister?

Swimables built this canister from impact- and UV-resistant plastics that tolerate common pool chemicals and sun exposure. The materials resist cracking and discoloration, so the unit stays functional and clear for visual inspection through multiple seasons.

• UV-resistant exterior to limit sun damage
• Chemically stable against chlorine and routine pool treatments
• Impact-resistant design to withstand handling and storage

How easy is it to clean and maintain?

The transparent body and twist-off lid make it simple to check the strainer basket and remove debris quickly. No specialized tools are required: unscrew the lid, pull out the basket, dump and rinse, then reassemble for immediate reuse.

• Clear housing for fast visual monitoring of debris levels
• Twist-off lid provides tool-free access to the strainer basket
• Compact size and light weight simplify storage and handling

Who is this for? The Swimables W560 inline leaf catcher is intended for pool owners who use suction-side automatic cleaners and want a low-effort way to protect pumps and filters from large debris. It’s suitable for inground pools that use standard 1.5" vacuum hoses, replacement or upgrade of Hayward W560-style canisters, and anyone seeking a durable, easy-to-clean debris solution that keeps equipment running smoothly between maintenance sessions.
