Q&A

Q: What is the difference between the Hayward Pool Vac and the Hayward Navigator?

A: The main difference lies in the shape of the cleaner head. The Navigator has a square/flat head, while the Pool Vac features a rounded design, which may perform slightly better in corners. Internally, both models use the same parts and hoses for easy replacement compatibility.
