Hayward 900 Aka Wanda the Whale



This Hayward 900, available at Kreepy Krauly web site, is really a great little vac. It hooks up to your filter intake or skimmer, and vacuums straight to your filter, not a bag with holes that doesn't catch fine particles. We use ours in a 24' above ground pool made by Intex. Yes, one of those temporary pools. It would work in any above ground pool! The most important thing to have is a good filter system. The filter supplied by Intex is not very good. This vac works best with a sand filter. We have a Hayward Pro Series system with a 1.5 hp Power Flo Maxtrix pump. The combination of this filter system and vacuum has saved my summers. I spent the first year with this pool spraying out the filter and hand/pole vacuuming only to see the finer particles come back into the pool through the return. It took all the pleasure out of having a pool! Now, I hook up my vac, takes a couple of minutes, turn on the filter system, and walk away - this vac rules !
