Product details

The Hayward AXW538 is the blue replacement bag for the W530 leaf canister. It is the genuine Hayward part and it is the permanent style bag, meant to be emptied and reused rather than discarded.

What the canister does

A leaf canister goes in the vacuum line ahead of the pump and catches leaves and larger debris before they reach the pump basket. On a pool with trees over it, that is the difference between emptying one canister and pulling apart the pump lid several times a day. The bag inside is what actually holds the debris.

When to replace the bag

Bags fail at the seams and tear on sticks and sharp debris. A canister with a holed bag still looks like it is working, but debris passes straight through and ends up where it always did. If leaves are turning up in the pump basket while the canister looks empty, check the bag for a tear before looking anywhere else.

Questions and answers

What people ask about this product, answered by our pool techs.

Which canister does this fit?
The Hayward W530 leaf canister.
Is it disposable or reusable?
Reusable. This is the permanent bag, which you empty and put back rather than throw away.
Why does the bag need replacing?
Bags wear at the seams and tear on sharp debris. Once there is a hole, the canister lets leaves through to the pump basket and stops doing its job.
What color is it?
Blue.
