Best Skimmer and Canister Recs for Lots of Leaves

[jalapenopopper]

Is there a "best" or largest capacity skimmer, or are they all the same? I see Hayward makes them, and there are some Venturi skimmers, is there a preference from one brand or type to another?

My pool will have a massive oak and pecan tree dropping about 2-3 yards of leaves in my backyard a year. I will likely cover it during the fall, but there will still be lots of debris and leaves throughout the year.

Is there a large canister or collector that I can plumb into my system? I have seen a photo from @trbvm back in 2015 of a canister that is next to the skimmer, I'm searching for something like this. If there was a trashcan sized leaf filter collector back at the equipment pad, that would be the deal, but I don't think that exists.

Thanks for any advice,

Paramount has debris canisters. I can't tell you which is best. And I think any of them will need to be cleaned out fairly frequently with big leaf drops.

Thanks. This is what I’m looking for. Anyone have one of these canisters and do they work?

Seems like skimmers are fungible and I’ll get the biggest or one, unless there are better ones to buy.
Thanks
