The programmed steering eliminates the tangled hoses and missed areas common in random-pattern cleaners and covers the full pool surface in a reliable 4 to 6 hour cycle. The 40% larger intake over prior Navigator models improves debris pickup speed. Vacuum wings and a skirt maintain constant, wide-path suction contact. The pod and shoes traction system is specifically suited for vinyl liner and fiberglass surfaces. No booster pump required; the cleaner connects to the existing filtration system and installs in under 10 minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch2\u003eNavigator Pro Vinyl vs. Concrete Version: What Is Different\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe vinyl version (W3925ADV) and concrete version (W3925ADC) use the same AquaPilot steering, turbine, hose length, and accessories. The difference is in the shoes and traction components, which are matched to the surface type. The vinyl version's shoes are designed for vinyl liner and fiberglass surfaces to avoid scuffing and minimize liner contact stress. The concrete version's shoes are designed for the friction demands of plaster, gunite, and aggregate surfaces. Do not use the concrete version in a vinyl liner pool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch2\u003eHayward Navigator Pro Vinyl and Fiberglass Pool Cleaner Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"spec-list\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-key\"\u003eSKU\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-val\"\u003eW3925ADV\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-key\"\u003eCleaner Type\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-val\"\u003eSuction-side automatic pool cleaner\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-key\"\u003ePool Surface\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-val\"\u003eVinyl liner and fiberglass (inground pools)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-key\"\u003eNot For\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-val\"\u003eConcrete, gunite, plaster, or aggregate pools (use W3925ADC for those surfaces)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-key\"\u003ePool Size\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-val\"\u003eUp to 20 x 40 ft\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-key\"\u003eCleaning Cycle\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-val\"\u003e4 to 6 hours average\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-key\"\u003eSteering\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-val\"\u003ePatented AquaPilot programmed steering (SmartDrive); systematic pattern, not random navigation\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-key\"\u003eCleaning Coverage\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-val\"\u003eFloors, walls, and coves\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-key\"\u003eIntake\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-val\"\u003e40% larger than prior Navigator models; wide vacuum wings and skirt for broad suction path\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-key\"\u003eTraction System\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-val\"\u003ePod and shoes; shoes suited for vinyl and fiberglass surfaces\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-key\"\u003eOperation\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-val\"\u003eVirtually silent; no pulsating hoses or parts\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-key\"\u003eInstallation\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-val\"\u003eUnder 10 minutes; no tools required; connects to skimmer or dedicated suction port\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-key\"\u003ePower Source\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-val\"\u003eExisting pool filtration system; no booster pump required\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-key\"\u003eDebris Handling\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-val\"\u003ePasses directly to pump basket and filter; no debris bag\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-key\"\u003eIncluded Hose\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-val\"\u003e40 ft (9 connector hoses + 1 lead hose)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-key\"\u003eOther Inclusions\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-val\"\u003eSuction regulator valve, flow gauge, skimmer cone adapter\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-key\"\u003eSafety Note\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-val\"\u003eVac Lock safety fitting recommended for dedicated suction line installations (sold separately)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-key\"\u003eWarranty\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-val\"\u003e2-year limited warranty (parts only)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003ch2\u003eHayward Navigator Pro Vinyl Pool Cleaner Frequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between the Navigator Pro vinyl version and the concrete version?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe shoes and traction components differ by surface type. The vinyl version (W3925ADV) has shoes designed for vinyl liner and fiberglass; the concrete version (W3925ADC) has shoes designed for plaster, gunite, and aggregate. The AquaPilot steering, turbine, hose, and accessories are the same. Using the concrete version in a vinyl liner pool risks scuffing and surface damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eDoes the Navigator Pro use random navigation or programmed steering?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eProgrammed steering. The patented AquaPilot system (also called SmartDrive) drives the cleaner in a pre-programmed series of turns for systematic pool coverage. This eliminates the tangled hoses and coverage gaps that random-navigation cleaners can produce.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eWill the Navigator Pro work in a fiberglass pool?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eYes. The W3925ADV vinyl version is designed for both vinyl liner and fiberglass pool surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eHow does the Navigator Pro compare to the PoolVac XL for vinyl pools?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe two cleaners are nearly identical in performance and share most of the same parts. The Navigator Pro has a 40% larger intake and updated steering vs. prior Navigator generations. Both clean floors, walls, and coves on vinyl pools effectively. The choice between them is largely cosmetic and regional availability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eDo I need a Vac Lock safety fitting?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eHayward recommends installing a Vac Lock safety fitting if the cleaner is connected to a dedicated suction port rather than the skimmer. The Vac Lock automatically closes if the hose is pulled from the wall fitting.
