Suction Pool Cleaners

Keep your pool floor and walls spotless with automatic suction pool cleaners from Hayward and Pentair. PST Pool Supplies stocks the full range of suction-side cleaners — PoolCleaner, AquaNaut, Navigator Pro, PoolVac XL, Wanda the Whale, Aqua Bug, and Kreepy Krauly — for inground gunite, inground vinyl, and above-ground pools, from $213.00.

Suction-side automatic pool cleaners connect to the pool's existing skimmer or dedicated suction port and use the pool pump's suction to propel themselves across the pool floor and walls while vacuuming debris directly into the filtration system. They require no separate booster pump and operate on the pool's existing equipment — making them the most economical automatic cleaner category. The key cleaners in this collection: Hayward PoolCleaner 4-Wheel (W3PVS40JST) is the flagship suction cleaner for pools up to 20'x40' — 4-wheel drive with self-adjusting turbine vanes and patented tire treads that grip gunite, plaster, tile, and vinyl surfaces. The PoolCleaner 2-Wheel (W3PVS20JST) covers pools up to 16'x32'. Limited Edition Grey versions of both are also available. The Hayward AquaNaut 400 (W3PHS41CST) is Hayward's 4-wheel drive V-Flex turbine cleaner for pools up to 20'x40' — the only 4-wheel drive suction cleaner in its class with three interchangeable throats for surface-matched cleaning. The AquaNaut 200 (W3PHS21CST) covers 16'x32'. The Hayward Navigator Pro is available in vinyl (W3925ADV) and gunite (W3925ADC) versions for pools up to 20'x40' — surface-specific design ensures appropriate scrubbing action. The Hayward PoolVac XL similarly comes in vinyl (W32025ADV) and gunite (W32025ADC) configurations. For above-ground pools: the Hayward Wanda the Whale (W3900) and Aqua Bug (W3500) both use SmartDrive programmed steering and 32' hoses, designed for above-ground/on-ground pool surfaces. Pentair Kreepy Krauly cleaners include the Lil Shark for above-ground pools (360100 and 360156) and the Kreepy Krauly pleated seal version (360042) for inground pools — known for single-moving-part simplicity and reliability.

All cleaners in this collection require a minimum 0.5 HP pool pump for proper operation. Hose length (32'–40') is sized to your pool; measure the diagonal distance from the skimmer to the farthest corner to confirm sufficient hose coverage.

Shop suction pool cleaners at PST Pool Supplies and let your pool's existing pump do the cleaning work automatically.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does a suction-side pool cleaner work?
A suction-side pool cleaner connects to the pool's skimmer or a dedicated vacuum port and uses the suction from the existing pool pump to power its movement and debris collection. As the pump draws water, it creates suction at the cleaner's intake throat — this suction both lifts debris off the pool floor and drives an internal turbine that powers the cleaner's wheels or propulsion system. The debris travels through the cleaner, up the hose, through the skimmer, and into the pool's filter. The result: the pool floor, walls, and steps are vacuumed automatically while the pump is running, and all debris ends up in the filter rather than a separate collection bag. No electricity reaches the cleaner itself — it is entirely hydraulically powered by the pump. This makes suction cleaners the simplest, most maintenance-free automatic cleaner type. The trade-off: heavily soiled pools or pools with large debris (leaves) can clog the throat or overwhelm the filter more quickly than a pressure-side or robotic cleaner would. For pools with heavy leaf fall, a robotic cleaner with its own debris bag may be more appropriate.
Do I need a dedicated suction port or can I use the skimmer?
Most suction-side cleaners can connect to either a dedicated vacuum port (a separate plumbing fitting in the pool wall specifically for automatic cleaners) or the main skimmer via a flow diverter valve. Dedicated suction port: provides the cleanest connection — full suction dedicated to the cleaner without affecting skimmer function, no flow-diverting valve needed. If your pool has a dedicated port, use it. Skimmer connection: a flow diverter valve (included with most cleaners) inserts into the skimmer throat and redirects suction to the cleaner hose while allowing a small amount of surface skimming to continue. This is the connection method for pools without a dedicated port — the vast majority of residential pool connections. The Hayward PoolCleaner, AquaNaut, Navigator Pro, and PoolVac XL all include flow diverter valves. Important: running the cleaner through the skimmer reduces the skimmer's surface-debris collection capacity while the cleaner is operating — this is acceptable during cleaner run cycles but means the skimmer isn't fully functioning as a skimmer simultaneously. Schedule the cleaner during off-peak times if surface debris is a concern.
What is the difference between the Hayward PoolCleaner and AquaNaut?
Both are Hayward 4-wheel drive suction cleaners for large inground pools (up to 20'x40'), but they use different propulsion technologies: Hayward PoolCleaner (W3PVS40JST) uses self-adjusting turbine vanes — the turbine vane pitch adjusts automatically based on water flow and debris load, maintaining consistent movement speed across varying pump conditions. It includes patented tire treads designed to grip multiple surfaces and three interchangeable throats sized for different debris types. AquaNaut 400 (W3PHS41CST) uses V-Flex variable vane turbine technology — Hayward's updated turbine design that varies vane geometry for more efficient water-powered movement. The AquaNaut is marketed as the "only 4-wheel drive suction cleaner" in its category (the PoolCleaner is also 4-wheel). In practice, both cleaners perform similarly on gunite and plaster pools — the choice often comes down to pricing and availability. The 2-wheel versions (PoolCleaner W3PVS20JST, AquaNaut 200 W3PHS21CST) cover smaller pools (up to 16'x32') and turn more frequently (every 8–10 ft vs. 11–14 ft for 4-wheel) — more frequent turns mean better wall coverage but slightly less efficient floor coverage on large pools.
How do I troubleshoot a suction cleaner that moves slowly or stops?
Slow or stopped suction cleaner movement is almost always a flow problem: (1) Check the pool pump basket and skimmer basket — a full pump basket reduces suction significantly; empty and clean both before diagnosing the cleaner. (2) Check the filter — a dirty filter (high pressure on the filter gauge, typically 8–10 psi above clean pressure) reduces flow. Backwash or clean the filter cartridge. (3) Inspect the cleaner throat and hose — large debris stuck in the cleaner throat or kinked hose sections restrict flow. Remove the cleaner from the pool and check for blockages; straighten any hose kinks. (4) Check the hose for suction leaks — hold each hose swivel under water while the pump runs; bubbles from a swivel connection indicate a leak that reduces effective suction at the cleaner. Replace leaking swivels. (5) Verify pump suction — the cleaner requires a minimum 0.5 HP pump at the skimmer. If the pump is undersized or worn (reduced flow with age), the cleaner will underperform. (6) Inspect turbine vanes — worn or broken turbine vanes (inside the cleaner body) reduce the suction-to-movement conversion. Replacement vane kits are available for all Hayward models.
