Product Overview
The Hayward PoolVac XL W32025ADC is an automatic suction-side pool cleaner designed specifically for in-ground concrete and gunite pools. It connects directly to the pool’s existing skimmer or dedicated suction line and uses the filtration system to capture debris, eliminating the need for a separate booster pump or electrical power source.
Hayward’s exclusive AquaPilot® programmed steering technology guides the cleaner through a predetermined series of turns for systematic coverage of the pool floor, walls, and coves. The turbine-drive system provides smooth, quiet operation while maintaining dependable suction performance.
Key Features
AquaPilot® Programmed Steering
AquaPilot technology provides an intelligent, predetermined steering pattern designed to improve overall pool coverage without relying on random movement.
Designed for Concrete & Gunite Pools
The W32025ADC configuration is specifically designed for concrete and gunite in-ground swimming pools.
40-Foot Hose System

Quiet Turbine-Drive System
Hayward’s turbine-drive system provides smooth, quiet movement while using the pool's existing suction system for power.

Installation Information
The PoolVac XL connects to the pool’s skimmer or dedicated suction port and is powered by water flow from the existing circulation system. Proper suction flow should be established during setup to ensure correct cleaner movement and performance.
Because debris collected by the cleaner is directed into the pool filtration system, the pump basket and pool filter should be inspected and cleaned regularly.
Confirm Before Ordering
Before purchasing, confirm:
- Hayward part number W32025ADC
- Pool has a concrete or gunite surface
- Pool has a compatible skimmer or dedicated suction connection
- Approximately 40 feet of hose is sufficient for the installation
For vinyl or fiberglass pools, verify the appropriate Hayward PoolVac XL version rather than using the concrete-pool W32025ADC configuration. Hayward separately lists W32025ADV for vinyl applications.
Warranty Information
Warranty coverage is subject to Hayward’s current warranty terms, purchase channel, installation requirements, and product eligibility.
