🏊‍♂️ Hayward SharkVac XL Pilot Robotic Pool Cleaner – Caddy Included | Foam + Brushes 🦈

Intelligent Floor, Wall & Waterline Cleaning with ASCL® Smart Navigation

📋 PRODUCT OVERVIEW

The Hayward SharkVac XL Pilot represents the pinnacle of automated pool cleaning technology from one of the industry’s most trusted names. This fully automatic robotic cleaner independently scrubs, vacuums, and filters your entire pool without requiring any connection to your existing filtration system.

Powered by Adaptive Seek Control Logic (ASCL®) microprocessor technology, the SharkVac XL Pilot intelligently optimises its cleaning routine for your individual pool’s size and shape. The innovative dual-roller system combines foam rollers at the front with brush rollers at the back, ensuring effective cleaning across all pool surface types – from delicate vinyl liners to robust tiled finishes.

Designed for in-ground pools up to 6m x 12m, this premium cleaner tackles floor, walls, and waterline with ease. Simply drop it in, switch it on, and let the SharkVac XL Pilot do the work. The included ergonomic caddy makes transportation and storage effortless.
