Why is my Hayward AquaVac 250 not picking up debris?

  Elizabeth CalderonAug 21, 2025
  If your Hayward Swimming Pool Vacuum isn't picking up debris, several factors could be at play. First, ensure the debris compartment isn't full, and clean it along with the filter cover if needed. Check the suction mouth for any clogs and remove any obstructions. Also, a low battery can cause this issue, so ensure the robot is fully charged. Inspect the impeller for jams; if it's blocked by large debris, power off the robot and carefully clear the blockage. If the impeller is broken, contact your dealer for a replacement.

How to fix Hayward Swimming Pool Vacuum that doesn't cover the entire pool?

  If your Hayward Swimming Pool Vacuum isn't covering the entire pool, start by cleaning the debris compartment, as a full compartment can hinder performance. Ensure the filter compartment is clean and that the robot is fully charged (6 hours). Water circulation from the filtration system can interfere with movement, so turn off the filtration system at least 15 minutes before operation. Check the wheels for any obstructions and remove any debris. For round pools, ensure bumpers are installed correctly. If the rake/brush is deformed, straighten them under sunlight or replace them. Adjust the tube setting according to instructions. Algae can make the pool floor slippery, so scrub the pool bottom and robot wheels.

  If your Hayward Swimming Pool Vacuum is moving slowly or not at all, the following could be the reason: * The debris compartment is full or the filter cover is clogged. Clean the debris compartment and flush the screen with water. Use a soft brush, if needed. * The suction mouth is clogged. Remove any obstructions. * The filter cover screen is clogged. Flush the screen with water, using a soft brush if necessary. * The rake/brush is deformed. Expose them to sunlight to straighten, or replace them. Try using only one rake or brush. * The impeller is jammed. Power off the robot and inspect the impeller for debris. Contact your dealer if needed, and ensure the robot is off during servicing.

Why Hayward AquaVac 250 Swimming Pool Vacuum stopped in the middle of the pool?
- R
  Richard WardAug 27, 2025
  If your Hayward Swimming Pool Vacuum stops moving in the middle of the pool but the swivel head is still turning, it could be due to an obstruction or suction from the main drain. Check for any obstacles or large creases in the pool liner that may be blocking the cleaner and remove them. Alternatively, the robot may be stopped by suction from the main drain; in this case, turn off the filtration system.

  If the swivel head on your Hayward Swimming Pool Vacuum isn't turning or is turning noticeably slowly, check if the side flap is obstructed and remove any debris hindering its movement. Also, the swivel head bottom might be jammed. Detach the swivel head and smoothening-ring, then remove any trapped debris.

  If your Hayward Swimming Pool Vacuum is moving slowly or not at all, it could be because the debris compartment is full or the filter cover is clogged (clean the debris compartment and flush the screen with water, using a soft brush if needed, ensuring the filter cover is in place afterward), the suction mouth is clogged (remove any obstructions), the filter cover screen is clogged (flush the screen with water, using a soft brush if needed), the rake/brush is deformed (straighten under sunlight or replace, or use only one rake or brush), or the impeller is jammed (power off the robot and inspect the hole under the swivel head for blockages, contact your dealer if needed).
