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. The pod and shoes traction system uses shoes designed for vinyl liner and fiberglass surfaces to avoid scuffing and minimize contact stress. No booster pump required; the cleaner connects to the existing filtration system in under 10 minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch2\u003ePoolVac XL Vinyl vs. Concrete Version: What Is Different\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe vinyl version (W32025ADV) and concrete version (W32025ADC) use the same AquaPilot steering, turbine, hose, and accessories. The difference is the shoes, which are matched to the surface type. The vinyl version's shoes are softer and designed to protect vinyl liner and fiberglass surfaces. The concrete version's shoes handle the friction of plaster, gunite, and aggregate. 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 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\"\u003eW32025ADV\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 W32025ADC 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 vinyl liner 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 PoolVac XL Vinyl Pool Cleaner Frequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eHow is the vinyl version different from the concrete version?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe shoes differ by surface type. The vinyl version (W32025ADV) has softer shoes designed for vinyl liner and fiberglass. The concrete version (W32025ADC) has shoes for plaster, gunite, and aggregate. The AquaPilot steering, turbine, hose, and accessories are the same. Do not use the concrete version in a vinyl liner pool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eDoes the PoolVac XL use random navigation or programmed steering?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eProgrammed steering.

Regional availability and cosmetic appearance are the primary differences. Both use AquaPilot programmed steering and perform similarly in vinyl and fiberglass pools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eShould I remove the cleaner before shock treatments?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eYes. Remove the cleaner before adding shock or high-dose chlorine. Leaving the cleaner against the liner during elevated chemical concentration can cause localized bleaching or softening of the liner under the foot. Return it once chlorine is back in the normal operating range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"doc-links\" role=\"complementary\" aria-label=\"Hayward PoolVac XL for Vinyl Pools Manual and Warranty Info\"\u003e\n    \u003ch2\u003eHayward PoolVac XL for Vinyl Pools Manual and Warranty Info\u003c\/h2\u003e\n    \u003cul\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/docs\/hayward-poolvac-xl-vinyl-owners-manual.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eOwner's Manual \u0026amp; Installation Guide (PDF)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/docs\/hayward-poolvac-xl-vinyl-hose-setup-guide.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eHose Configuration \u0026amp; Flow Regulator Setup Guide (PDF)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/docs\/hayward-poolvac-xl-vinyl-parts-diagram.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eIllustrated Parts Diagram \u0026amp; Shoe Replacement Reference (PDF)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003c\/ul\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e\n  {\n    \"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\/\",\n    \"@type\": \"Product\",\n    \"name\": \"Hayward PoolVac XL Automatic Suction Cleaner for Vinyl Pools\",\n    \"brand\": { \"@type\": \"Brand\", \"name\": \"Hayward\" },\n    \"model\": \"PoolVac XL\",\n    \"description\": \"Suction-side automatic pool cleaner for vinyl liner and fiberglass inground pools up to 20 x 40 ft.
