I purchased the Poolman Leaf Canister, model ALC30, from Home Depot January 2018.  I had just had met a near complete swimming pool suction line blockage.  I had, just days before, completed a pool sweep using the suction hose.  My guess was that debris from that effort had clogged the line.  I figured that I could buy an inline filter that would trap the pool debris before it entered the suction line so this would not happen again.  I did not like this product mainly because the lid, to open and close the canister, was way too difficult to open and close.  I found that I spent more time trying to open and close the canister than I spent sweeping the pool.

Not recommended.
