The Hayward AquaBug is easily one of the most popular above ground pool vacuums. It is an automatic pool cleaner designed for above ground pools with vinyl liners. It works just as well on either flat bottoms and dished bottoms.
Function
Just as with Hayward\’s other automatic pool cleaners, such as Diver Dave and Wanda The Whale, the AquaBug is self-propelled. It, just like the others, uses a technology patented by Hayward called SmartDrive, which programs the vacuum to work faster and more efficiently than most other bottom-roving cleaners, which move around in a random pattern.
Suction
The vacuum function of the AquaBug is vigorous. It can sucks up everything from sand and microscopic particles to fallen leaves. If you will be using it to pick up leaves, you may want to invest in a leaf catcher, which will keep your filter from getting clogged. It\’s an inexpensive investment which will prevent you from spending time unclogging your filter, or, worse, having to make a costly repair.
Design
Just as with Hayward\’s other cleaners Wanda the Whale and Diver Dave, the AquaBug comes in a unique color and pattern, which sets it apart from other automatic above ground pool vacuums. Kids love the fun design, which looks like a big red insect – though not a scary bug, but a friendly one. But don\’t be fooled by its charming exterior; the AquaBug is one of the best automatic cleaners out there.
Equipment
The Hayward AquaBug works with a standard above ground pool filtration system, so there is no need to purchase an additional booster pump. This is good because it cuts back on energy usage, and therefore, of course, saves money on electricity bills.
Safety
One of the most important things about the AquaBug, as well as with most other automatic above ground pool vacuums, is that it cleans the pool with its powerful suction ability instead of with the use of harsh chemical sanitizers. Too many chemicals in the water can lead to poor health effects. This is especially important if there will be children swimming in the pool, since children\’s immune systems are not as developed as are immunes systems of adults.
