The Hayward Navigator Pro 925ADC suction pool vacuum is a great choice for in-ground pools constructed of gunite or concrete. The Hayward Navigator Pro is also competitively priced, but don’t worry – it doesn’t sacrifice price for efficiency.
Specifications
The Hayward Navigator Pro cleans in-ground swimming pools up to 20′ x 40′ thanks to the included 40-foot long hose. To complete a cleaning cycle, the cleaner takes 3 to 4 hours, which is an average duration for this type of device. It can easily clean the pool floor, walls, and even hard-to-reach coves.
The Navigator Pro doesn’t need a boost pump to operate because it functions using the existing filtration system of your pool.
Functionality
The Hayward Navigator Pro features SmartDrive technology for a thorough clean in less time. This advanced technology enables the device to move easily around any pool. It also helps the cleaner determine an intelligent route for enhanced energy-efficiency and speed.
Unfortunately, the Navigator Pro is incapable of cleaning or navigating pool steps. The ability to handle steps isn’t standard with this type of device. It also doesn’t include a deflector. But, it’s unlikely that it will have trouble with corners.
The Navigator Pro doesn’t have a remote control, programmable timer, or an automatic shut-off feature. While not necessary to effectively clean a pool, these additions make for greater ease of use.
Energy Efficiency
One of the best elements of the Hayward Navigator Pro is that it uses as little energy as possible while still achieving a thorough clean. Since this model is powered by the existing filtration system of your pool, a booster pump is unnecessary. That greatly reduces the amount of energy that the Navigator Pro uses. Since this cleaner doesn’t use parts that operate loudly, it makes very little noise as it works. So, people could even relax around the pool as it’s cleaning without any disturbance.
Design and Accessories
The Hayward Navigator Pro pool cleaner has a space-saving design and doesn’t weigh very much, so it’s easy to put in the pool, remove from the pool, and transport. The structure is durable, with a design that’s sure to hold up for a long time to come.
Included with the Navigator Pro a 40-foot long hose allows the device to handle pools with expansive surface areas. Despite its length, the hose won’t tangle due to the innovative SmartDrive technology, which develops an efficient route. Another included accessory is the Hydro-Dynamic head. This allows the pool cleaner to move through the water easily.
Setup
The Navigator Pro suction-side pool cleaner is a breeze to set up, which is great news for busy pool owners. The setup can be completed in under ten minutes and simply requires the device to be connected to the skimmer or the suction port. You won’t need any tools to set it up, which is another major plus.
The Navigator Pro comes with a 2-year manufacturer’s warranty. Within that period, you can have peace of mind in knowing that if needed, a repair or replacement won’t cost you anything.
