My Problem:
I have rock landscaping around the edges of my pool. I also have two golden retrievers who love to run around the yard. Naturally, some of the rocks end up at the bottom of the pool. This has been a headache for my pool cleaner. If the rock is large enough it will jam up the turbine inside the Hayward Navigator.
My Questions:
Are there any pool cleaners designed to work especially well with picking up rocks or larger debris?
Also, I know that the rocks that make it through the cleaner may end up clogging one of my 90 degree elbows somewhere in the line. I have noticed the pressure in my dedicated suction line to be much lower than my skimmer line. I believe I may have a partial clog somewhere in my line. Unclogging the line is a separate issue I'm currently working through, but would a leaf canister prevent this from happening in the future (after I have unclogged the line)?
Thank you for your help!
