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.

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, inexpensive, and it WORKS!
Style: Vinyl (W32025ADV)
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. ... show more

    • Third Navigator
Style: Gunite (W32025ADC)
We are entering our 31st year with an inground pool in FL. The pool vacuum lives in the pool nearly full-time. The exception is the rare party when I make swimming easier for guests. We have tried the Baracuda style and they just get stuck in the step corners. The Hayward Navigators are pretty much problem-free. They maneuver the incline from 3-8 feet without a problem and when they encounter a corner, it turns and moves on. Like everything else, they wear out over time, but there are lots of sources for basic repair parts to extend the life of the unit. Expect excellent results with a 10-year service life. It is not cheap, but with the outrageous prices of 'robotic' vacuums, the Navigator is the best value. I hope Hayward keeps making them for another 30 years. ... show more

    • Hayward pool vac works quickly and cleanly
Style: Gunite (W32025ADC)
My old Hayward pool vac (this is for an in-ground gunite swimming pool) had broken and needed replacing, so I decided to stay with this brand. This new one worked immediately and surprisingly quickly once hooked up to the pool's vacuum system -- indeed, it moved along the pool bottom at a much faster speed than the old one. This system is entirely passive -- no electrical power is needed, merely the suction lines (ample tubing in 3.5-ft. lengths is supplied with it) connected to the pool's own vacuum system. It moves along on its own accord and, if it runs into a wall and gets stuck, soon moves aside and continues its motion in a different direction. Ample suction for leaves and similar detritus that fall into the pool. ... show more

    • Doesn’t last.
Style: Gunite (W32025ADC)
When we first bought it, it was wonderful. Would practically walk itself out of the pool! However, 22 months later. Done. It barely moves. We took it to our local pool store and bought a replacement piece that they said is a very common issue with this brand, changed it out and still nothing. And since it is almost two years old, manufacturer says can’t help us. These are not cheap and Haywood is supposedly a great company, but I won’t be replacing with the same one. ... show more

    • Very disappointed

We just installed a new vinyl liner and were very excited when we received the robot cleaner. After months of research, we decided to jump on the $350 investment. We installed on 3/12/24 and at first glance seemed to work fine although we notice it remained in the deep and middle section of the pool and would not move to the shallow areas. We thought the long hose was holding it back and this was easily fixed by shortening the hoses. By the next day we noticed it stopped moving completely. After troubleshooting the vacuum would move sluggishly and then would stop. We had our pool guy check it to ensure it was not user error. We also checked that the water pressure from the skimmer was good and there was no air on the line but still would not walk the pool as supposed to. It would work for about 10-15 minutes and then suddenly stop. Only used it 1 day and now I’m returning it. Although this item is eligible for returns within 30 days of receipt, while processing the return request, the return policy stated they will not fully refund if it has already been used. If I'd known this detail prior to purchasing, I would've passed on this one. My mistake! one I will not make again. ... show more
