Product Overview
The Hayward PVX280PK2 Universal Cleaner White Float Hose Set is a genuine OEM replacement accessory designed for compatible Hayward PoolCleaner®, Poolvergnuegen®, and Aquanaut® suction-side automatic pool cleaners. This package includes two replacement hose floats that help maintain proper hose buoyancy, allowing the cleaner hose to remain suspended above the pool floor for smooth movement and improved cleaning performance.
Over time, hose floats can become waterlogged, cracked, or damaged from UV exposure and normal use. Worn floats may cause the cleaner hose to drag on the pool floor, reducing cleaner maneuverability and increasing the likelihood of tangles. Replacing worn hose floats helps restore proper hose positioning, allowing the cleaner to travel more efficiently while reducing unnecessary wear on the hose and cleaner head.
Manufactured by Hayward to original equipment specifications, the PVX280PK2 float set provides the correct fit and buoyancy for compatible Hayward automatic suction cleaners.

Benefits
Proper hose flotation is essential for maximum cleaner performance. The hose floats help keep the cleaner hose elevated, reducing resistance as the cleaner moves throughout the pool. This improves coverage, minimizes hose tangling, and reduces stress on both the hose and cleaner.
Replacing damaged or waterlogged floats can restore the cleaner's ability to move freely across the pool floor, walls, and transitions while helping extend the life of the cleaner hose.
Because these are genuine Hayward replacement parts, they provide the same fit and performance as the original equipment installed on compatible cleaners.
