Policy details

Overview

In the tradition of the AquaBug, the new Hayward families of aboveground pool cleaners are designed to clean the bottom of all sizes and shapes of above-ground/on-ground pools automatically. These attractive little critters operate off the pool's existing filtration system and feature our exclusive SmartDrive's program steering so it won't miss a spot.

Features:

  • Patented SmartDrive programmed steering system ensures the entire bottom of the pool is cleaned quickly and completely
  • Installs in less than 10 minutes, without tools
  • Unique turbine/gearing system provides constant balanced water flow assuring quiet operation and gentle movement across the pool bottom
  • Improves water circulation by pulling water from the pool bottom as it moves
  • Advanced, contoured head design allows the AquaBug to complete the steering pattern in minimal time
  • Deluxe bumper ring minimizes friction for easy movement away from walls and resumption of the programmed steering pattern
  • Slotted santropene shoes for quick turns
  • 1 year warranty

Don't waste your time with this one. We had to frequently order replacement parts all over one summer.

Broke all the time, when it did work it worked great, but is not well put together and breaks frequently.
