Traps air

Just got this and it seems all pool equipment is designed by people who don't own pools and this is another example. A simple leaf canister needs to be something you can open and it should allow air to escape. Looks like they made an attempt at the opening issue as there are places to grip the canister as opposed to the smooth cylinder surfaces on my old canister. The down side is that it is designed to trap air. Instead of narrowing towards a tip at the outflow end it is indented a couple of inches to trap an air bubble. The air bubble grows and floats the filter basket above the water level rendering much (about a third for me) of the leaf basket useless. From the product picture it is hard to see this. I will keep it anyway as I am tired of having to use tools to open my old one and the cleaner seems to work OK with it . Not sure how it will work in the fall with more leaves in the pool.
