The Zodiac 77496 is a bottom and surface leaf catcher designed for manual pool cleaning. Part of the Zodiac Serenit range, this tool attaches via a clip system to a standard telescopic pole and allows you to quickly and efficiently collect leaves, debris, insects, and other organic matter from both the pool floor and the water surface. Its round collection head measures approximately 39 cm wide by 38.5 cm tall, providing a generous sweep area with every pass so you can cover more ground in less time.<\/p>\n
The collection bag is made from nylon mesh and offers a depth of approximately 40 cm, giving it a large holding capacity before it needs to be emptied. This is particularly useful for pools surrounded by trees or in areas with heavy leaf fall, where a smaller bag would require constant emptying during a single clean. The mesh material allows water to pass through freely while retaining even fine debris, keeping the bag from becoming waterlogged and heavy during use.<\/p>\n
The 77496 uses a clip-based attachment mechanism that connects securely to a compatible telescopic pole. This system makes it quick to swap tools during a cleaning session without needing additional hardware. The round frame design ensures smooth movement through water with minimal drag, and the wide head profile means fewer passes are needed to clean a given area of the pool floor or surface.<\/p>\n
The nylon mesh bag is durable and resistant to pool water chemicals, including chlorine, meaning it will maintain its integrity over repeated use without degrading quickly. The deep bag design prevents debris from escaping back into the water as you lift the catcher out at the end of a cleaning pass, which is a common issue with shallower alternatives.<\/p>\n
The Zodiac 77496 leaf catcher is suitable for use in a wide variety of residential swimming pools, including in-ground and above-ground pools of all shapes. It is designed for use with a standard telescopic cleaning pole and is particularly well suited to pools that accumulate significant amounts of leaf litter or organic debris. As part of the Zodiac Serenit accessory range, it is compatible with other Serenit series pole attachments. This product is ideal for pool owners who carry out regular manual maintenance and want a reliable, high-capacity collection tool that works effectively at both the bottom and the surface of the pool.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
