    Why is my Hayward Swimming Pool Vacuum moving so slow?

      If your Hayward Swimming Pool Vacuum is experiencing slow or no forward movement, it could be due to several reasons. First, check the water flow using the Flow Gauge and adjust as needed. A blockage in the cleaner throat could also be the culprit, so clear any obstructions. Lastly, inspect the shoes and wings for wear; if worn, replace them.

    What to do if my Hayward Swimming Pool Vacuum climbs to the water surface and sucks air?

      Christopher ThompsonAug 1, 2025
      If your Hayward Swimming Pool Vacuum climbs to the water surface and sucks air, it could be due to too much or improper water flow. Check the water flow with the Flow Gauge and adjust. It could also be due to improper tension on the rear flap; turn the rear flap adjuster to position 1. If it still climbs too much, reduce water flow until proper operation is achieved. Also, check and clean the rear screen. Make sure that the cone gear is free and rotates smoothly in both directions. Check the medium turbine and spindle gear assemblies for malfunction.

      If your Hayward Swimming Pool Vacuum fails to climb vertical walls in a gunite or concrete pool, there are several potential causes. Start by checking the water flow with the Flow Gauge and adjust as per Step 5. Clear any blockage in the cleaner throat. Inspect the shoes and wings for wear and replace if necessary. If the hose is too short, install additional hose sections as per the installation instructions. Finally, ensure proper tension on the rear flap by turning the rear flap adjuster to position III.

    Why does my Hayward Swimming Pool Vacuum get stuck in corners?

      Carla BrewerAug 14, 2025
      If your Hayward Swimming Pool Vacuum is sticking at steps or corners, it may be due to improper water flow. Check the water flow with the Flow Gauge and adjust. Worn shoes or wings can also cause this issue, so replace them if necessary. If the hose is too short, install additional sections. You should also check and clean the rear screen. Make sure that the cone gear is free and rotates smoothly in both directions. Check the steering program and troubleshoot, then clean, repair, or replace the gearbox. Check the pod/A-frame connection and replace it if necessary. Do not attempt to retighten loose pods. Finally, check the medium turbine and spindle gear assemblies.

    Why is the head of my Hayward Navigator V-Flex floating?
    • A
      Andrew ClarkAug 20, 2025
      If the cleaner head of your Hayward Swimming Pool Vacuum appears to be floating, first, ensure all air is removed from the cleaner head and prevent air from entering the pool through the return lines. If the cleaner head and hose are covered with fine bubbles, tug the hose to release them, allowing the cleaner head to settle. Also, readjust return outlets to prevent water flow interfering with cleaner head and/or hose.
