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.


  • Simple, fast, robust-a very well conceived product
Style: Vinyl (W32025ADV)
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. ... show more

  • Delivered Promptly
Style: Gunite (W32025ADC)
Item was delivered promptly and was exactly what was expected. Hayward vacs are high quality but have many working parts and do require maintenance over time. Parts are easily replaced. When working properly the Hayward vac is the best option for keeping your pool clean in my opinion.

  • Broke just outside the return policy- so at basically brand new
Style: Gunite (W32025ADC)
DO NOT BUY THIS. You CANNOT RETURN this item after amazons return policy and it will break at 2 months of use. We had a Hayward we were replacing that was as old as dirt because we just had our pool redone. This one didn’t even come close to the old version. The black inside piece came out of where the bearings are and the side of the black part broke. It would spin intermittently so it took us about 24 hours to realize it was broken. In the mean time to wore a hole into the inside of the unit. I contacted Amazon and they said there was nothing They could do. I called Hayward and the only thing they offered is to submit a warranty claim and hope it gets approved by this vendor. So, I have a broken pool vacuum that is brand new and no one will he me. Complete waste of $400. I will refrain from ordering something like this again on Amazon since there are no protections for buyers. ... show more

  • Grossly overpriced but does the job
Style: Gunite (W32025ADC)
Other than paying 10x the actual cost of this plastic contraption… it does work well. For now. I can get a pretty decent quality vacuum cleaner for half this price… the pool market is dumb.

  • My pool vacumn
Style: Gunite (W32025ADC)
I bought mine in September 2024, was working great, now it just goes in circles and doesn't cover the pool for cleaning. I would like to get a replacement. I don't want to feel I paid $399 + tax and delivery for something that's no longer working properly in less than the 1 year warranty

  • The product works and it arrived on time.
Style: Gunite (W32025ADC)
I usually have to purchase a vacuum every 2 -3 yrs. I purchase the same one. It cost a little more than I like , but I like the fact it's easy to install and easy to use. It vacuums the whole pool while the pump is running. It's a good product and I recommend to anyone.

  • Terrible Customer Service
Style: Gunite (W32025ADC)
Updating this review: Since writing the review below, Hayward did respond to me. Initially they told me I had to take it to a service center again, which I said I wasn't going to do because two fixes in less than four months was unacceptable for a product that cost $350. I pushed a bit and they have since sent me a new unit for free. After a couple of weeks, it seems to be working well. So I have upgraded my review from one star to three. Hopefully this one will continue to work as it should, and that will be the end of that. I bought this pool vac in late April. After one month of service, it stopped moving on its own. I placed a warranty claim and was directed by Hayward to a service partner to have it fixed. So I did that, which meant it was in the "shop" for a week. Immediately after getting it back, it started listing to one side and would eventually move to one corner of my pool and stop. I gave it some time, thinking it might correct itself--not wanting to have to deal with another claim. No such luck. It soon stopped moving altogether again. So I called customer service again, and I got a very impersonal email directing me to a website to find a service provide to have it "fixed" again. The email has a person's name attached to it and says to email back with questions. So I did. I said I'm not willing to deal with a second repair job on a new vac I paid a lot of money for. I said I'm willing to trade up to a different Hayward model, and I'll gladly pay the difference, so long a Hayward will credit me what I've already paid and that they will take this broken one back at their expense. I think that's reasonable--that maybe I just got a bad unit and am willing to give them another shot. That was two days ago, and nobody has responded. I even sent a follow-up email requesting a prompt response, which I shouldn't have to do. So far, nothing. I think I am being polite and acting in good faith, so I'm pretty disappointed in Hayward's lack of communication and lack of ownership that they sold me a crappy product. We'll see how this plays out. But at this point, I cannot recommend this company or its products. ... show more
