The cleaner's four-wheel drive works with its treaded tires to improve traction and obstacle maneuverability over common pool-floor features such as main drains and changes in surface contour.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn internal programmed steering system periodically reverses one wheel to redirect the cleaner. On the 4-wheel model, current product literature describes multiple programmed turns ranging from approximately 90 to 540 degrees, with straight travel between steering events. This helps the cleaner change direction without electronics, cords, or external programming.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBest For\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLarger in-ground swimming pools\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePools with deeper sections or longer hose runs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConcrete, gunite, vinyl, fiberglass, tile, and pebble pool surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOwners who want a suction cleaner powered by the existing pool system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplacing an older complete 4-wheel PoolCleaner with the current W3PVS40JST online model\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBrand\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHayward\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eProduct Line\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThe PoolCleaner\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eW3PVS40JST\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eUPC \/ GTIN\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e610377389921\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCleaner Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSuction-side automatic pool cleaner\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDrive System\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4-wheel drive\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePool Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIn-ground\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRecommended Application\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLarger pools; commonly up to about 20 ft. x 40 ft.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHose Length\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApproximately 40 ft.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePower Source\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eExisting pool pump and filtration system\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBooster Pump Required\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePool Surfaces\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCommon in-ground pool surfaces including concrete, gunite, vinyl, fiberglass, tile, and pebble\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eColor\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWhite\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCoverage, Steering \u0026amp; Traction\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe PoolCleaner uses an internal mechanical steering system rather than random freewheeling alone. The steering sequence changes the cleaner's direction at programmed intervals to help it cover both deep and shallow areas of the pool. Four-wheel drive adds stability for larger pools and longer travel distances, while raised tire tread helps the cleaner negotiate reasonable obstacles and uneven surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePatented adjustable skirts help maintain suction when one side of the cleaner passes over an obstacle. Actual wall-climbing and coverage depend on pool shape, surface condition, plumbing, available suction, hose setup, and cleaner maintenance, so performance should be evaluated as a complete system rather than by the cleaner alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSetup \u0026amp; Use\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBefore connecting the cleaner, make sure the pool circulation system is operating correctly and baskets and filter elements are clean. Connect the sectional hoses so the assembled hose reaches the farthest point of the pool with appropriate additional length, then connect the cleaner to the designated suction port or skimmer setup using the manufacturer's instructions. Remove air from the hose before final connection and adjust suction using the supplied or compatible flow-control components as directed by Hayward.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDuring routine service, inspect the tires, turbine vanes, skirts, steering components, hose sections, and suction path for wear or blockage. Tread wear indicators on the tires can help identify when replacement tires are due.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBuy with Confidence\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBenchmark Pool Supply helps customers distinguish between Hayward's 2-wheel and 4-wheel PoolCleaner models and match the correct complete cleaner to pool size, depth, suction source, and hose requirements. For W3PVS40JST, confirm you need the white 4-wheel suction-side model for a larger in-ground pool.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs Hayward W3PVS40JST a suction-side or pressure-side cleaner?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eW3PVS40JST is a suction-side cleaner. It connects to the pool's suction system and uses the existing pump and filter for power, so a booster pump is not required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat size pool is the 4-wheel PoolCleaner designed for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 4-wheel model is intended for larger in-ground pools and is commonly listed for pools up to about 20 ft. x 40 ft., especially where a longer cleaner path or deeper pool favors the 4-wheel design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow much hose comes with W3PVS40JST?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCurrent product listings specify approximately 40 feet of sectional cleaner hose with W3PVS40JST.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the advantage of the 4-wheel model over the 2-wheel PoolCleaner?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 4-wheel version is intended for larger and generally deeper pools, providing additional traction and stability over longer travel distances. The 2-wheel version is typically used for smaller pools.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes The PoolCleaner 4-wheel use a debris bag?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. This is a suction-side cleaner, so collected debris travels through the suction line toward the pool's pump and filtration system rather than into an onboard cleaner bag.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hayward","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43539197788234,"sku":"W3PVS40JST","price":529.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0637\/6580\/7178\/files\/shopping_10.webp?v=1788207523","url":"https:\/\/benchmarkpoolsupply.com\/products\/the-poolcleanertm-4-wheel-white-w3pvs40jst","provider":"Benchmark Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
