Val-Pak V60-400 Leaf Canister Basket – Replacement Basket for Hayward W530 / W560
The Val-Pak V60-400 Leaf Canister Basket is an OEM-quality replacement basket designed for use in compatible in-line pool leaf canisters, including Hayward W530 and W560 models. The basket plays a critical role in capturing leaves, twigs, and large debris before they reach the pump basket, helping protect circulation equipment and maintain strong water flow.
Leaf canister baskets are exposed to constant debris impact and suction pressure. Over time, baskets can crack, deform, or lose structural integrity, allowing debris to bypass the canister and place strain on the pump. Replacing a worn basket with the Val-Pak V60-400 helps restore proper debris capture and supports efficient system operation.
Manufactured to precise tolerances, this replacement basket is designed to fit correctly within the canister housing, ensuring secure seating and reliable performance during normal pool operation.
