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.

🚀 Abunda's Overview

This is our summary and key points to consider based on customer reviews.


The Hayward pool vacuum comes highly recommended by users for its durability, effectiveness, and ease of use. Suitable for different pool types and sizes, it operates without electrical power, relying on the pool's suction line. Maneuverability around obstacles and along walls ensures thorough cleaning, while its simple design limits maintenance headaches. However, concerns about longevity and functionality after a period of use have been mentioned.

Pros

  • 🌟 Highly effective at cleaning various pool types and sizes
  • 🔄 Excellent maneuverability, managing walls and avoiding obstacles efficiently
  • 🛠️ Low maintenance thanks to a straightforward, electrical-free design
  • 🕒 Long-lasting with reports of units operating well over a decade
  • 📦 Comes with ample tubing and is described as a great value compared to robotic cleaners

Cons

  • 🌱 Can get hung up on large debris or deep creases in the pool liner
  • ⏰ May show a significant decrease in performance or stop working around the two-year mark
  • 🔧 Common issues with certain parts leading to additional investment in replacements
  • 📉 Quality and durability concerns despite the initially high performance

Should I Buy It?

If you value simplicity, durability, and effective pool cleaning over the high-tech gimmicks of robotic cleaners, the Hayward pool vacuum could be a fit for you. However, be prepared for potential maintenance or replacement after a few years of service. Weighing its upfront cost against the longevity and effectiveness reported by many, it presents as a solid investment for diligent pool maintenance.


  • Worth the money.
Style: Gunite (W32025ADC)
UPDATE:Yesterday when cleaning pool I noticed I didn't have the vacuum hose correctly in the skimmer filter and adjusted it...and now it does CLIMB OUT OF THE POOL! YAHOOOOO!! WORKS LIKE A CHARM 💥 I’m giving 5 stars because it was easy to set up out of the box and place in pool, where it immediately went to work. I was skeptical at first if it would work efficiently because it almost didn’t pass the suction test. It was registering to low. I placed it in the shallow end, and it started right up and started working. Mine may not climb out of the pool, but it still goes up the wall about 80% and once in deep end, it has enough suction and power to come back up to the shallow end to clean. Sometimes it appears to get stuck around the stairs, but always works it’s way out of it, and keeps going. I’ve never had to readjust the vacuum to free it from being stuck. I’m really happy I was finally able to afford it, because it’s worth the money. I only wished that it came with a purchasable extended warranty. ... show more

  • Great Pool Vacuum - Requires less pump suction than other brands / models
Style: Gunite (W32025ADC)
This vacuum works great. I had the same model (dealer model 2025ADC) for a few years (5?) and it finally wore out. I tried to rebuild it but was unsuccessful. Not all suction vacuums are created equal. Hayward 32025ADC best features: 1. Works with much less pump suction / lower RPM allowing me to keep my variable speed pump at the lower speeds - 2500rpm and vacuuming all day. 2. Next to silent operation. Very quiet. Downsides: Debris pickup size is smaller for this model and larger debris/ leaves can jam it up. You can offset this by using more VSP suction if that is an issue for your pool. The competition: The two wheeled models such as; Poolvergnuegen “the orginal pool cleaner”, hayward phoenix, or aquanaut 200. Also, the Pentair rebel. These are all the same unit with different colors and branding. Many swear by this two wheel design. The two wheeled versions require significantly more suction to move at all. Also they require two plastic float rings be installed on the line hose to keep the unit upright. They work by squeezing the vacuum line and reducing hose size. These float rings may fall off or get kicked off my kids when swimming. The Aquanaut 200 I tried was so loud I could hear the mechanical clicking of the unit over the pool pump and while it was in the deep end! It was distracting. In short My family swims daily and we leave the vacuum in the pool and running. The Hayward XL concrete model worked with less suction and is very quiet! ... show more

  • Can't afford new gearbox every 2 months
Style: Gunite (W32025ADC)
I had one of these for 20 years. I did of course replace various parts of the insides, wings and pods every couple of years or so, but that machine was excellent. So I know these things inside out. That is why when the old one finally gave up the ghost, I brought what I thought was a newer version of what I had. Within a week, it stopped moving, well moved then stopped until finally it was stopped full time. I called and they sent me out a gearbox, and it worked perfectly for another 4 weeks. Then the stop start thing started happening again. So bought a new gearbox and again, worked perfectly for 6 week's then stopped and started again. So now 7 months later I have this thing sitting in my pool moving 2" an hour. I can't afford $80 odd every couple of months, so this has been a huge, expensive flop. I do have to stress that this is not in the pool 24/7, probably a day a week, pool is in a screen enclosure so no leaves or sticks or anything to contend with. My advice to myself is to spend a little more and get one that will hopefully last. ... show more

  • This guy’s a dynamo! But……
Style: Gunite (W32025ADC)
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. ... show more

  • Buy one about every 7 to 8 years
Style: Gunite (W32025ADC)
These have a lot of moving parts that wear down, but you can easily replace. But they eventually get to the point where it’s time for a new unit. But it’s worth it because they clean the pool great. I think I use the word but too much. But whatever.
