Product Overview

The Hammer-Head Remora™ Complete Portable Vacuum Kit | XR1600 is a lightweight, battery-powered pool vacuum system designed for pool professionals, service technicians, and facilities that need strong debris pickup without hauling a full service cart.

Weighing approximately 18 lbs. as a complete package, the Remora is built for portability. It can be carried through narrow gates, up stairs, around landscaping, indoors, and into tight pool decks where a larger Hammer-Head Service or Resort cart may be difficult to maneuver. The vacuum head with cord weighs approximately 13 lbs., while the battery pack weighs approximately 5 lbs.

The XR1600 package includes the Remora vacuum head, dedicated motor and cord assembly, wearable lithium battery pack, carry handle, charger, and superfine debris bag. A standard pool pole is not included.

Ideal For

The Remora is designed specifically for situations where mobility matters.

Unlike larger cart-based pool vacuums, the XR1600 can be carried directly to the pool. The battery pack includes a strap system that can be worn around the hip, over the shoulder, or across the body while cleaning.

This makes it especially useful for:

Pool service routes

Pools with stairs or elevated decks

Narrow access gates

Indoor pools

Courtyard pools

Heavily landscaped properties

Tight equipment or deck areas

Benefits

Two-Speed Smart Switch: The Remora battery pack incorporates Hammer-Head's two-speed Smart Switch™.

The system includes motor protection and can automatically shut the motor down if the propeller becomes obstructed or if the motor operates out of the water for too long.

Easy Debris Collection: The Remora does not require connecting to the pool's filtration system.

Debris is captured directly in the included HH1508 Superfine reusable debris bag, helping prevent leaves, dirt, and other contaminants from entering the pool filter.

Additional Hammer-Head debris bags with different filtration grades are available separately.
