Pentair K60430 Leaf Canister – Large Capacity Debris Trap
Part # K60430 — a large-capacity leaf canister designed for suction-side automatic pool cleaners. This canister traps leaves, twigs and large debris before they reach the pump basket, improving circulation and protecting equipment from clogs.
Key Features
- Large debris chamber designed to hold more leaves and reduce cleaning frequency.
- Durable, clear body allows easy visibility of debris level without opening the canister.
- Twist-lock lid for quick access and fast emptying.
- Compatible with most suction-side cleaners using standard 1½″ vacuum hose connections.
- Protects pump basket and impeller by catching debris before it enters the filtration system.
Typical Applications
Ideal for pools with heavy leaf load, trees nearby, or frequent debris. This canister is used in-line with suction-side cleaners to maintain strong vacuum performance and reduce strain on the pump.
Installation & Compatibility Notes
Insert the K60430 canister inline on the vacuum hose between the cleaner and pool skimmer or vacuum port. Ensure the flow directional arrow is aligned properly. Press-fit hose connections make installation simple with no tools required. Works with most Pentair, Kreepy Krauly and universal suction cleaners.
Why Choose This Leaf Canister?
The K60430 offers high debris capacity, ease of use and strong protection for your filtration system. Its clear housing and simple twist-lock lid make maintenance quick and convenient.
Maintenance Tips
- Empty the canister frequently during heavy leaf seasons to maintain optimal suction.
- Inspect O-ring and lid for proper sealing; replace if worn to prevent air leaks.
- Rinse the basket and chamber regularly to prevent buildup of fine debris.
- Avoid running the cleaner when the canister is full, as this reduces performance and may introduce air into the system.
