2″ Leaf Trap W/ Union

Product details

The "2" Leaf Trap W/ Union" is a maintenance tool designed to be installed on the plumbing line to help capture leaves and other debris before it reaches the pump and downstream equipment. In practical setups, it’s especially relevant when you’re placing compatible pumps ahead of your filtration system, since certain pump manufacturers require a leaf trap/priming pot in that location to keep the pump warranty valid.

Features:

• Helps protect pumps and filtration by trapping leaves and debris before they can be pulled into the system
• Intended for use when the pump is installed before the filtration system to satisfy manufacturer warranty requirements (for the listed pump families)
• Includes a union connection for easier service access compared to fixed piping
• Compatibility note: for use with pumps other than Waterways or Wave pumps, an adapter is required (sold separately) to match the Leaf Trap’s connection
• Works as part of routine maintenance by providing a dedicated point to check and clean trapped debris

Specifications:

• Size: 2-inch
• Connection type: Union
• Primary use: Leaf trap / priming-pot style protection on the intake line before filtration
