The Hayward TracVac is an in-ground, suction cleaner designed for maximum clean with minimal effort. The use of tracks provides improved operational mobility which allows the TracVac to overcome obstacles better than standard wheeled options. Don’t be fooled, this cleaner is small but mighty . Its modest size allows the TracVac to navigate any pool surface with speed and agility, eliminating debris in less time. Light-weight construction makes it easy to handle. The TracVac maintains constant suction power from your pool pump so you will never need to charge a battery or empty a messy internal filter. Simply setup, drop in and let the TracVac tackle the rest.

I had a Navigator that ran for 13 years with several rebuild kits installed. It wasn't the best cleaner, but it worked. I upgraded to the TrakVac and was instantly impressed with its cleaning capabilities and the fact it actually climbs and cleans the walls up to the scum line. It has been trouble free and would occasionally stop moving if leaves get into the gears. But cleaning and maintenance is a snap.

This one works great. Third try was the answer. I wasted money on two of the creepy crawler types that would never clean the shallow end.

It’s only been a week and I’m watching it carefully but so far it does everything I was expecting. this cleaner is a replacement for the last cleaner. I had “the pool cleaner”. the trac vac does a much better job of climbing the walls. It will breach the surface and suck air so you’ll have to make an adjustment in the suction to prevent that from happening, which is easy. it moves around the entire pool at a steady pace, never gets stuck. It does not climb my stairs, which I’m OK with. I believe it depends on the configuration of your stairs and the curvature of your plaster surfaces for it to climb stairs or walls or shelves. The gauge supplied with the cleaner shows the pump suction level. Mine is at the minimal level. So it’s working fine at that level . So far I’m completely satisfied, I am going to keep observing for another few weeks.

The unit was shipped w/o a cone hose adapter. I have called Hayward hoping that they will just ship the missing part and I will be able to use the pool vac. No luck. The Hayward On-Line support refuses to support Amazon clients & recommended to ship it back to Amazon. I bought the missing part at local pool store assembled the unit. I thought our problems were over. Again, no luck. The pool vac gets stuck every few minutes on the steps or on the bottom drain. You need to watch it constantly and keep helping it to get unstuck every 10 to 15 minutes. The water suction gauge is a total joke. Its poorly designed and useless. We had Hayward pool vacs for 30 years and never such problems. It does not seem that Hayward even test their own product just resales somebody else's junk. This is how great companies get put out of business by their own greed, ignorance and arrogance.

This is my third cleaner, I had fo awhile a Navigator, and honestly no the best cleaner, then a crawling cleaner (the one with a rubber round pad that uses vacuum to make the system to “ jump” by intermittent suction of the membrane) which was ok, but followed a path that could not be altered, and now I have this unit which is really amazing, I got it since my crawly is depreciated, and what a nice surprise, my pool has its own vacuum line, so I just plugged it in, and I saw the results in no time, we have pollen in our area so precipitation in the bottom of the pool is unfortunately normal, and now I do not see it, I had this cleaner already for almost a month, and it is performing a very good job, it is well designed, easy to install, and also easy to maintain. Do not hesitate if you are deciding what to buy, this product is worth every penny.

Cleaner feels sturdy and does not take up much storage space when not in use. Other reviews criticized that the cleaner would not upright itself as needed. I too had this issue, but I attributed this to the fact that the suction tube is a very good, thick,high quality tube, and that the weight of the tube dragging behind the cleaner appeared to me, to be the cause. The cleaner comes with only one clip on float block which is placed 12"-18" inches above the cleaner. I added a 3" length piece of pool noodle by splitting it and taping it around the suction hose at about it's mid-point. Ever since, the cleaner works flawlessly!

I was amazed how this simple design magically gets the floor clean.It lacks brushes so you need to manually brush beforehand.It just goes forward some distance, then turns 350 degrees or so and goes straight again. This seems to be enough. It does climb walls.As my pool is large, i haven't used the included hoses. I have a 50' hose attached to the vac port above ground, then a leaf canister (a must have!), then a 25' hose, then this vac. I wrapped electric tape around the attachment fitting, else standard 1.5" hose would fall off.It is important to put the included float on the hose 2' from the vac.The hose closest to the vac does get coiled somewhat, as the vac always turns in one direction. But due to the swivel, it doesn't overcoil or prevent normal operation.The vac somtimes falls on its side or stands up, but eventually rights itself.This is due to the large pool and my hose configuration.I do move the entry point of my large hose into the water to shift the coverage more to one side.I would say it takes 12 hours at least to go over my pool completely, likely a couple of 12 hour cycles.
