Hayward The PoolCleaner 2-Wheel Suction Pool Vacuum
Effortless Cleaning Power — The Hayward 2-Wheel PoolCleaner
If you want crystal-clear water without hours of manual vacuuming, the Hayward 2-Wheel PoolCleaner (Model W3PVS20JST) is your perfect solution. Designed to work directly with your pool’s existing filtration system, this suction-side automatic pool cleaner delivers powerful, consistent cleaning performance for residential pools up to 16’ x 32’.
Engineered with Hayward’s trusted innovation, the 2-Wheel PoolCleaner navigates your pool floor methodically, climbs walls, and scrubs away fine dirt and large debris with ease — all without a booster pump or complicated setup. It’s the most efficient way to keep your pool spotless and swim-ready year-round.
Engineered for Consistent, Thorough Cleaning
At the heart of the Hayward 2-Wheel PoolCleaner is a self-adjusting turbine vane system that keeps suction power steady — even when your pump speed fluctuates. Whether you’re using a single-speed or variable-speed pump, the cleaner’s internal hydraulics automatically regulate flow to ensure optimal performance.
Its patented tire treads provide superior traction on all pool surfaces, including concrete, vinyl, pebble, and fiberglass. These deep-treaded wheels help the cleaner move effortlessly over uneven areas, tight corners, and main drains without getting stuck.
The programmed steering sequences guide the cleaner in a systematic path, ensuring it covers the entire pool floor and walls evenly for a consistent clean — not random movement.
Compact, Lightweight, and Built for Small to Medium Pools
The 2-Wheel PoolCleaner is specifically designed for pools up to 16 feet by 32 feet, making it ideal for smaller or standard residential pools. Its compact frame ensures efficient coverage without excessive hose length or drag, while the dual-wheel design provides the perfect balance between maneuverability and stability.
This model is optimized for pools with single suction ports or skimmer connections, making installation quick and hassle-free. Despite its smaller size, it packs all the power and precision of Hayward’s larger models.
Simple Installation — No Tools, No Booster Pump
Setup is effortless. The Hayward 2-Wheel PoolCleaner connects directly to your pool’s suction line or skimmer using the included hose. There’s no separate power supply or booster pump required.
Installation typically takes less than 10 minutes:
-
Attach the hose to your suction line or skimmer.
-
Submerge the cleaner to fill it with water.
-
Turn on your pump.
-
Watch as it immediately begins its cleaning cycle.
Once connected, the cleaner moves in pre-programmed steering patterns, automatically reversing direction at precise intervals to ensure complete pool coverage without missing areas.
Handles Fine and Large Debris with Ease
From sand and silt to acorns and leaves, the Hayward 2-Wheel PoolCleaner is built to handle it all. The extra-wide suction throat and high-capacity turbine system let it capture debris of varying sizes without clogging or losing suction power.
As the internal turbine rotates, self-adjusting vanes flex to allow larger debris to pass through while maintaining consistent suction flow — reducing maintenance and improving long-term efficiency.
That means fewer filter cleanings, less pump strain, and better overall water circulation for a cleaner, healthier pool.
Quiet, Energy-Efficient Operation
Unlike pressure-side cleaners that rely on noisy booster pumps, the Hayward 2-Wheel PoolCleaner runs silently using your pool’s existing pump and filtration system. The low-friction turbine design allows for smooth, quiet operation that doesn’t disturb your backyard environment.
It’s also optimized for use with variable-speed pumps, delivering excellent cleaning results even at lower flow rates. This means significant energy savings over time without compromising performance.
Durable Construction Built to Last
Every component of The PoolCleaner is built for long-term reliability. Hayward uses high-quality, UV-resistant materials that resist cracking, warping, and chemical wear. The wheels are reinforced for maximum traction, and the internal gear system is sealed against debris and corrosion.
This durability ensures the cleaner will operate season after season with minimal maintenance — a hallmark of Hayward engineering excellence. Replacement parts such as tires, gears, and turbine vanes are easily accessible, keeping maintenance simple and affordable.
