Frequently asked questions
The Hayward PoolVac XL operates by utilizing your pool's existing filtration system. It gets connected to the skimmer or suction port, and as the pump runs, it creates suction that allows the PoolVac XL to move across the pool's floor and walls, vacuuming debris into your pool's filtration system. Its unique wing and skirt design enhance its suction capability and allow for thorough pool coverage.
The Hayward PoolVac XL is ideally designed for in-ground gunite pools. While it is optimized for gunite surfaces, its performance on other pool surfaces like vinyl or fiberglass may vary and is not officially recommended by the manufacturer for non-gunite pools.
The Hayward PoolVac XL is designed to work with your pool's existing pump and filtration system, so no additional equipment is necessary for its operation. However, for optimal performance, your pool's pump and filtration system should be in good working order and properly sized for your pool's volume.
Maintaining and cleaning the PoolVac XL involves occasionally checking the suction path for debris and ensuring the wings and shoes are in good condition. It's also important to regularly inspect the hose for any signs of wear or damage and to clean the filter system to maintain proper suction. Always disconnect the PoolVac XL from the pool's suction port and turn off the pool pump before performing any maintenance.

I’m really impressed with this pool cleaner. It’s easy to use, works efficiently, and does a great job picking up dirt and debris from the pool floor. After using it, the water looks noticeably cleaner and clearer. It saves me a lot of time and effort compared to manual cleaning. Definitely a great investment for maintaining a clean pool.

Our first use of this vacuum was during our “pool opening“ which inevitably involves a lot of debris that has found its way to the bottom of the pool.I almost returned this product when it failed to operate on my first use. As I was packing it up in its box. My wife noticed that there was a rattling inside of the vacuum-surely I thought, this thing is a piece of junk. my wife looked inside the bottom of the unit and noticed what appeared to be a rock. In fact, there were several rocks inside of the vacuum, and they had jammed the paddle wheel that causes the vacuum to move. The vacuum is that strong that it sucked up some one and a half inch diameter rocks that had found their way into the pool unbeknownst to us. Since then, the vacuum has worked perfectly. It’s really ideal for cleaning up every several days. We just drop it in the pool and check up on it in a few hours and the pool is pristine. It does not climb right angle sides, but it will climb lesser angles, which are predominant in our pool. I’m a little OCD on efficiency and so have figured out how I can get the unit from storage to operating within two minutes. I really have no interest in the more technologically involved electrical units with rechargeable batteries, etc.. It’s just another device waiting to have some stupid problem. This thing is very simple and it’s engineering and utilizes the existing pool suction to do its thing. It’s also significantly less expensive than the more “advanced” vacuums.

First, about my pool. It's large -- 16 x 32 -- but shallow, only 5.5 feet from end to end. There's no "deep end" where junk can accumulate. The whole bottom needs cleaning. I ordered a "robot" electrical cleaner with a "programmed" electronic control., for over $1000. It didn't clean the whole bottom. It performed its routine, decided it was done, then turned itself off. I sent it back to the manufacturer twice, but they couldn't make it work. It's now awaiting recycling. The "robot" cleaner also needed supervision. I had to haul it out of the water and clean the basket, which was a nuisance. And I had to disconnect the electrical controller and move it under cover before running the lawn sprinkler, or when rain was forecast. The Hayward is a blessedly simple, straightforward device. It doesn't need electricity; when it's connected and the pool pump is running, IT'S running. It has no basket; the trash goes into the pump basket or the sand filter. It runs around in a random pattern that, it time, will clean the entire bottom of any pool. And it needs no supervision. It's idiot-proof. Some caveats. Make sure all the hose sections are clicked firmly into place. The cleaner will get hung up on large debris, like twigs, and deep creases in the liner. Take care of these before using. Suction is important. The suction gauge provided is helpful, but I discovered I don't need it. My pool has three drains; the bottom, the skimmer, and the vacuum port. I connect the cleaner to the vacuum port and close the other two drains. Suction is too high; it clings to the bottom. I open one of the other ports, and the cleaner moves, but slowly. I partially close the other port, a little at a time, until the cleaner is bopping merrily across the bottom at about one foot per second. Then I forget about it. There's no real reason to ever take it out of the pool; that's its element. Just cut the suction and move it out of the way. I love this gadget. I regret that it took me so much time, and so much money, to find it.

Worked great at first but has been dying for 6 months. Today, less than 2 years after we purchased, it doesn't do anything. It's a $459 brick.

The media could not be loaded. Update 5/6/2023 This vacuum never stops, but it always makes a knot in the hose. As a result, it can only vacuum a small part of the pool. Bought a swivel here on Amazon to connect the hose to the vacuum hoping this would solve the problem. At first I thought it did because there were no knots in the hose. That just created a new problem. The vacuum now twists the hose resulting in the same lack of coverage. It’s like one of those twisty ties except a giant version! While the vacuum may be great and runs well, it’s no good to me if it vacuums only one small area of the pool. Guess I’m going to have to look for yet another pool vacuum. Bought this to replace my previous vacuum that had worked great for 5 years then died. Replaced it with the same, but it also died within a year. So researched here on Amazon, read reviews, and decided I’d give this one a try. I set it up easily, put it in the pool and away it went! It’s fast, cleans great, climbs the walls (but not steps). Living in Southern California the vacuum runs all day every day for about 6 hours and works great except for one thing…. The only issue seems to be one I read about in the reviews. It constantly creates a knot in the hose! I don’t know how since I’m not out watching it all day, but it seems to happen daily! It’s a pain to have to untangle it everyday, otherwise it won’t reach the farthest end of the pool. I’ll keep an eye on it in the summer when I’m outside most of the day. This is the reason it only got 4 stars from me.
