Patented self-adjusting turbine vanes flex to allow large debris passage while maintaining maximum power across a wide range of flows, making it compatible with variable-speed pumps. The internal steering system causes the left wheel to periodically reverse, executing turns from 90 to 540 degrees after traveling 11 to 14 feet for full pool coverage. Patented tire treads provide enhanced obstacle maneuverability, especially around main drains. The adaptable roller skirt maintains suction on uneven surfaces. Three interchangeable throats allow optimization for different pump speeds. The 4-wheel drive provides extra traction for pulling the longer 40 ft hose in larger pools with a deep end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch2\u003ePoolCleaner 4-Wheel Gray vs. 2-Wheel Gray: Choosing the Right Model\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe 2-Wheel is ideal for average-sized pools up to 16 x 32 ft without a deep end (33 ft hose). The 4-Wheel is best suited for larger pools with a deep end that require the longer 40 ft hose, and the four-wheel drive provides the extra traction needed to pull it effectively. Both share the same self-adjusting turbine vanes, internal steering, tire treads, roller skirt, and three interchangeable throats. The gray finish is the same shade across both models. The 4-Wheel costs more for larger pools where its extra traction and longer hose are genuinely needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch2\u003eHayward PoolCleaner 4-Wheel Limited Edition Gray 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\"\u003eW3PVS40GST\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\"\u003e4-wheel suction-side automatic pool cleaner\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-key\"\u003eBest For\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-val\"\u003eLarger inground pools with a deep end; all shapes and surfaces\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-key\"\u003eTurbine\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-val\"\u003ePatented self-adjusting turbine vanes; maximum power at virtually any flow; large debris passage\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\"\u003eInternal programmed steering; left wheel periodically reverses; turns 90 to 540 degrees; travels 11 to 14 ft before turning\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-key\"\u003eTraction\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-val\"\u003ePatented robust tire treads; enhanced climbing ability and obstacle maneuverability\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-key\"\u003eRoller Skirt\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-val\"\u003eAdaptable roller skirt; maintains optimal suction on uneven surfaces and around obstacles\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-key\"\u003eThroats\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-val\"\u003e3 interchangeable throats for variable-speed pump compatibility and larger debris passage\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 pump and filtration system; no booster pump required\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-key\"\u003eConnection Point\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-val\"\u003eDedicated suction port or skimmer\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\"\u003eApproximately 40 ft (11 sectional hoses)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-key\"\u003eFinish\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-val\"\u003eLimited Edition Gray; produced in finite quantities; same shade as the 2-Wheel Gray\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-key\"\u003eCompatible Surfaces\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-val\"\u003eVinyl, fiberglass, concrete, tile (inground pools)\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 onboard bag required\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\"\u003e1-year limited warranty (parts)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003ch2\u003eHayward PoolCleaner 4-Wheel Limited Edition Gray Frequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eWhat is the advantage of the 4-Wheel over the 2-Wheel PoolCleaner?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe 4-Wheel is best suited for larger pools with a deep end. The four-wheel drive provides the extra traction needed to pull the longer 40 ft hose effectively through the pool. Both models share the same turbine, steering, tire treads, roller skirt, and three interchangeable throats. For average-sized pools without a deep end, the 2-Wheel with its 33 ft hose is typically adequate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eDoes the PoolCleaner 4-Wheel work with a variable-speed pump?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eYes. The three interchangeable throats and self-adjusting turbine vanes are specifically designed for variable-speed pump compatibility. Set the pump to a cleaning speed that maintains steady wheel movement during the cleaning portion of the daily pump schedule.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eIs the gray finish the same shade as the 2-Wheel Gray version?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eYes. The Limited Edition Gray colorway is consistent across both the 2-Wheel and 4-Wheel PoolCleaner models. If you have both models in the same pool environment, the finishes will match.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eCan service parts be ordered once the gray edition sells through?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eFunctional components — turbine assembly, tire treads, roller skirt, throats, hose sections, and the flow regulator plate — are all available through the standard PoolCleaner 4-Wheel parts catalog. Gray-finish body panels are limited edition components and their availability may be finite after the production run sells through. Functional performance is fully maintainable regardless of cosmetic parts availability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eCan I use the PoolCleaner 4-Wheel Gray in an above-ground pool?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eNo. The PoolCleaner 4-Wheel is designed for inground pool plumbing and suction configurations.
