It runs on the suction the pool already has, so nothing extra has to be plumbed or powered.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow it works\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cleaner connects at the skimmer or a dedicated suction line and is driven by the filtration system. Debris travels up the hose and into the pool filter, which is why there is no bag on the machine to empty or replace. Hayward drives it with a programmed steering pattern it calls SmartDrive, so the cleaner works a deliberate path rather than bouncing around at random.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat it is good at\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSuction cleaners of this kind are aimed at fine dirt, small leaves and twigs, the everyday load in pools in dry and tropical settings. Because the cleaner pulls water from the floor as it travels, it also acts like a main drain that moves, which helps circulation and keeps chemistry more even through the pool.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSetting it up\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe hoses are included, so the cleaner is complete in the box. Hayward puts the installation at ten minutes or less, either through the skimmer or on a dedicated suction line, and it does not call for tools.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hayward","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48629100314836,"sku":"HAY-20-1008","price":291.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/default_dec454c9-724e-4f5f-b6ee-d5a0ba6b97a0.jpg?v=1788759685","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/aquabug-above-ground-pool-cleaner","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
