The programmed steering eliminates tangled hoses and coverage gaps, completing the full pool in a reliable 4 to 6 hour cycle. Vacuum wings and a skirt maintain constant, wide-path suction contact across plaster, pebble, and aggregate surfaces. The pod and shoes traction system uses shoes designed for concrete and gunite surface friction. No booster pump required; the cleaner connects to the existing filtration system in under 10 minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch2\u003ePoolVac XL Concrete vs. Vinyl Version: What Is Different\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe concrete version (W32025ADC) and vinyl version (W32025ADV) use the same AquaPilot steering, turbine, hose, and accessories. The difference is the shoes, matched to the surface type. The concrete version's shoes handle the friction of plaster, gunite, and aggregate. The vinyl version's softer shoes are designed to protect vinyl liner and fiberglass surfaces. The PoolVac XL and Navigator Pro are nearly identical cleaners that share most parts; regional availability and cosmetic appearance are the primary differences between them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch2\u003eHayward PoolVac XL Concrete 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\"\u003eW32025ADC\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\"\u003eConcrete, gunite, plaster, pebble, exposed aggregate, quartz (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\"\u003eVinyl liner or fiberglass pools (use W32025ADV 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\"\u003eWide vacuum wings and skirt; broad suction path on every pass\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 designed for concrete and gunite 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 PoolVac XL Concrete Pool Cleaner Frequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eDoes the PoolVac XL use random navigation or programmed steering?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eProgrammed steering. The AquaPilot system (SmartDrive) drives the cleaner in a pre-programmed series of turns for systematic, thorough pool coverage, eliminating tangled hoses and the coverage gaps that random-navigation cleaners can produce.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eHow does the PoolVac XL compare to the Navigator Pro for a concrete pool?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe two cleaners are nearly identical in design and share most parts. Regional availability and cosmetic appearance are the primary differences. Both use AquaPilot programmed steering and perform similarly in concrete and gunite pools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eDoes the PoolVac XL work with a variable-speed pump?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eYes. The cleaner connects to the existing filtration system. Set the pump to a speed that provides adequate suction to keep the cleaner moving consistently during the cleaning portion of the daily schedule.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eMy cleaner moves in circles instead of covering the whole pool. What should I check?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eA cleaner that travels in repetitive circles usually has a hose section with a permanent kink biasing its direction. Inspect each hose section for bends that do not straighten when laid flat on the deck and replace any affected sections.\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.
