Hayward SharkVac Robotic Pool Cleaner with Transport Caddy: Floor and Cove Cleaning for Pools Up to 20x40 Feet

The SharkVac cleans pool floors and the curved cove transitions at the base of pool walls in a 2-hour cycle. Smart steering technology calculates pool size and programs the most efficient cleaning path. The included transport caddy provides a stable draining platform at the pool edge after retrieval, keeps the 50 ft cord organized between sessions, and rolls the full assembly to and from storage so the unit never has to be carried wet across the deck.

SharkVac vs. SharkVac XL: Choosing the Right Model for Your Pool

The SharkVac cleans floors and coves only in a 2-hour cycle. The SharkVac XL extends that coverage to full walls and waterline in a 3-hour cycle, with a longer 60 ft cord and out-of-water and beach-entry sensors not included on this model. Choose the SharkVac if floor and cove cleaning is your primary need. Choose the SharkVac XL if wall algae or waterline buildup are ongoing issues that require automated coverage.

Hayward SharkVac with Transport Caddy Frequently Asked Questions

Is the SharkVac in this bundle the same unit as the standalone SharkVac?

Yes. The cleaner, filter elements, cord, and power supply are identical. The caddy is the only addition. If you would purchase a caddy separately anyway, compare the bundle price against the combined cost of the standalone unit and a separate caddy to confirm which is better value.

Does the bundle include everything needed to start cleaning immediately?

Yes. The SharkVac, 2 fine-porosity filter elements, 50 ft cord, power supply, and transport caddy are all included. The only additional requirement is a GFCI-protected poolside electrical outlet.

What does the 20x40 ft pool size rating mean for a freeform pool?

The rating corresponds to roughly 800 square feet of floor area. For freeform, kidney, or L-shaped pools, measure total floor area rather than a single length and width. If your pool's total floor area is at or below 800 square feet, the SharkVac's rated coverage applies regardless of shape.

Can the SharkVac and the pool pump run at the same time?

Yes. The SharkVac runs independently of the pool pump and can operate simultaneously. Running both at once is efficient: the pump circulates and filters water while the SharkVac handles physical floor and cove cleaning in parallel.
