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, 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

  • still one of the best units for cleaning pools

I have used these units for cleaning pool for over 25 years. These are very well made and work perfect. This is my second one after all these years. They are easy to rebuild and parts a available online or at Tiffany's Pool Supply. Oh I mean Leslies Pool supply where everything costs twice as much as it should. ... show more

  • Hayward inc is non responsive for their defective products
Style: Gunite (W32025ADC)
Bought this in September, placed it in my pool. Worked great for a little while. Now it doesn’t work at all. Tried contacting Amazon , who directed me to the manufacturer. Contacted them for a part replacement, and no response. DO NOT! Buy this product has customer service is terrible. It’s been in my pool for only 2 months and I’m out $372.00 . Amazon customer service is terrible ( if it’s past the return limit) and Hayward inc is giving no response. This product has a year warranty and no one has reached out to help me! All I need is an A Frame replacement ( has told to me by my pool service guy) so disappointed. I will never recommend an Hayward product ever!!!!’ ... show more

I purchased an earlier model and it lasted about 14 years. New one arrived and it was amazing, my pool was full of soot from the fires, Immediately it started sweeping and in about 45 mins it had completely cleaned the pool bottom and sides leaving it sparkling. I highly recommend this pool cleaner and worth every penny. ... show more

It works great, for some reason pool companies only vacuum once a month now here in Florida and the way it is here in southwest Florida your pool can't wait a month for that so it works great

  • A two-year lifespan is too short
Style: Gunite (W32025ADC)
Mine only lasted two years. One of the side flappers just fell off in the pool. It worked well for the time it was alive. What is everyone else's experience? Two years for $400 is what you can expect?
