The ProVac Plus Suction Cleaner was designed to provide more coverage and cleaning ability than any other above ground pool cleaner in its class – for 50% less! The powerful suction removes both large and small debris. The regulator valve automatically adjusts the water flow to be set at the ideal speed for maximum cleaning performance - so there is no need for guessing or making manual adjustments to diverter valves to increase or decrease water pressure. No tools are required and no electricity is needed. Just attach to your pool skimmer and the ProVac uses your existing pool pump for power and doesn’t need a booster pump. The more power your pump has, the more efficient the ProVac will be! Includes 12 hoses totaling 40 ft of coverage. 1-year limited warranty. Minimum 1 HP pump required.

Hayward Aqua Critter Troubleshooting:

  • Slow/no forward movement:

    Check for lack of/improper water flow through cleaner. If this appears to be the cause Clean the In-Line Leaf Canister, Hair and Lint Pot and Filter System. Check for partial blockage of cleaner throat, in which case clear blockage. Check for worn shoes or worn wings, and replace if necessary.
  • Cleaners movement is fast and erratic:

    If the cleaners movement is fast and erratic remove V512A, and turn off filter and turn cleaner upside down. Insert a small screwdriver in the notch at the rear of the opening. Using a prying motion, remove the throat.
  • Cleaner sticks at ladder or wall:

    If the cleaner appears to be stuck or "hung up" at the wall, ladder, or other obstruction, or anywhere else in the pool, and does not return to normal operation within a minute or so, turn the filter system OFF. Remove the cleaner from your pool. Check for blockages or any other obvious problems. Check the Bumper Ring for free rotation. Check filter system for water flow and re-install the cleaner. If the cleaner is getting stuck, contact your Hayward dealer or Hayward.

    Under no conditions should the cleaner remain in the pool connected to the filter system if the problem of getting stuck or "hung up" is not corrected.
