Product Overview
The Hayward TriVac® 500 Pressure-Side Pool Cleaner is designed to deliver powerful, thorough cleaning for in-ground pools. Built with Hayward’s patented AquaDrive® water-jet propulsion technology, the TriVac® 500 moves efficiently across the pool floor, walls, and coves while helping provide complete pool coverage.
Powered by a dedicated pressure line and compatible booster pump, this automatic cleaner uses triple venturi-jet action and a wide vacuum inlet to collect dirt, leaves, and debris. Its larger debris bag and advanced sweep hose help extend cleaning time and reach corners and crevices for a more complete clean.

Key Features
AquaDrive® Water-Jet Propulsion
Patented AquaDrive® technology powers the cleaner with water-jet propulsion, helping it navigate the pool floor, walls, and coves with efficient movement and full coverage.
