How does the Hayward Navigator work?
Navigator® Pro's exclusive SmartDrive® programmed steering moves the cleaner silently in a predetermined series of turns for more thorough cleaning of pool floor, walls* and coves. This automatic suction pool cleaner is powered by the existing filtration system where all debris are captured.
How does the Hayward pool cleaner work?
Suction Pool Vacuum Cleaners use the water flow from your filtration system and attach to either a dedicated suction port or skimmer. As debris are being sucked up, they are collected in the leaf canister, skimmer basket or routed directly to the pool filter.
Step 1
To remove the pods, first turn the cleaner right side up and, using a flat screwdriver, pry the pod plug off the right pod. This will expose the end of a hex screw that secures the pod to the lower body of the cleaner. Note: We have detached the lower body of the cleaner to show the connection of the pod to the A-Frame.
Step 2
Using a 1/4" hex socket wench, remove the screw from the pod. You will need a thin wall socket to reach the head of the screw. Keep track of the small washer that is under the head of the screw. It may be stuck at the bottom of the screw hole.
Step 3
The pod is attached to the square end of the right A-Frame. Pull the pod off of the end of the A-Frame.
Step 4
To attach the new pod, reverse the sequence described above. The pods are marked "R" and "L". Make sure you select the "R" pod. Press the new pod onto the end of the A-Frame. Secure the pod with the hex screw - make sure you include the small washer. Insert the pod plug and tap it in with the end of the screwdriver.
