Suction Pool Cleaners

Hayward suction cleaners are popular among Australian pool owners for their efficient and reliable cleaning performance. These cleaners, such as the Navigator Pro and AquaNaut series, utilise the pool’s existing filtration system to remove debris, making them an energy-efficient option. They are designed with advanced features like V-Flex technology, which allows for clog-free cleaning and optimised suction power, even at low flow rates. This makes them particularly well-suited for variable-speed pumps, which are increasingly common in Australian pools.

The Hayward suction cleaner range offers models suitable for various pool sizes and shapes. Options like the TracVac series feature rugged tracks for enhanced manoeuvrability over drains and on different pool surfaces. Many models come equipped with interchangeable throats, allowing users to adjust suction performance based on their pool pump and debris type.

Hayward suction cleaners are known for their durability and ease of use, with most models requiring minimal setup and maintenance. However, while these cleaners are effective for general debris, they may not be ideal for pools with large leaves or twigs, as they are primarily designed for smaller particles and sediment.

Features

  2. Patented Self-Adjusting Turbine Vanes: These vanes eliminate clogs and ensure maximum power at virtually any flow rate, making the cleaners suitable for use with variable-speed pumps.
  3. Pre-Programmed Steering Sequences: This feature ensures comprehensive pool coverage and efficiently cleans floors, walls, and coves without missing spots.
  4. Adjustable Roller Skirt: Maintains optimal suction on uneven surfaces, ensuring consistent cleaning performance across different pool finishes.
  5. Interchangeable Throats: Multiple throat sizes allow users to adjust suction performance based on specific pool pump capabilities and debris types.
  6. Rugged Tracks (TracVac Series): Designed to effortlessly manoeuvre over drains and obstacles, providing comprehensive coverage from floor to wall.
  7. Four-Wheel Design (AquaNaut 400 & 450): This design offers superior stability and maintains suction power in larger pools and those with deep ends.
  8. Lightweight Design: Makes the cleaners easy to handle, install, and retrieve from the pool. Compatibility with Various Pool Surfaces: It is suitable for use on gunite, vinyl, fibreglass, pebble, and tile finishes.
  9. Low-Flow Operation: Many models can operate effectively at low flow rates, making them ideal for use with energy-efficient variable-speed pumps.
