W3PC500, previously PC500.
In the tradition of the AquaBug, the new Hayward families of above ground pool cleaners are designed to clean the bottom of all sizes and shapes of above-ground/on-ground pools – automatically. These attractive little critters operate off the pool's existing filtration system and feature our exclusive SmartDrive® program steering so it won't miss a spot.
Pool cleaners are designed for maintenance use, not for large clean-ups like opening a pool. Pool cleaners are capable of removing debris, e.g., leaves and dirt. Algae removal is not an intended use.
PLEASE NOTE: This cleaner is not to be used on any soft sided above ground pool

Save some money. I gave this product a good 1 month + of test. Tried different method, i have to keep moving it around and all it does it small circle, cleaned it up, removed the ring and put it back, watched every videos there is around and nothing will do. It's just plain bad and terrible. Maybe a defective unit but since its past the 30 days it's just 300$ out the window.
This is a great vac. I'm guessing that it has an internal geared mechanism that makes it rotate-go-rotate-go-go-and then repeats in the opposite direction. Its outer circumference has a loop on plastic bearings so it can swivel when against a wall or obstruction and so change direction. The mechanism rotates against the hose connection, so its not limited by hose rotation. In fact, it may use the hose as a "fixed" point. Anyway, it means that it is much more successful in moving around the pool. I removed the nozzle from my jet so that there was a more diffuse current that didn't push on the hose so much, and that helped ensure that the vacuum head moves around the pool unimpeded by factors that would bias its position.
One of the best pieces of equipment we ever bought for our pool !!
Works great
Like the cleaner, keeps bottom clean without a lot of effort
Delivered quickly works pretty good, sometimes the bug forgets part of the pool and need to move hose to get half the pool... seal on pump at times creates air bubbles.... does an ok job for price! Happy with purchase
It works great except for a few occasional tumbles but it quickly corrects itself. It consuming to setup, you have to connect the hose every time and disconnect as well.
I wish I had bought this product a few years ago! It is amazing my pool has never looked so clean, it even picked up the leaves… It used to take me at least two hours to vacuum my 27' above ground pool...it was so easy to put together,started it up and walked away periodically I would check it but it was fine, and I was able to do other things while it cleaned my pool. Best product ever! And the service from the company is great, I will continue to purchase products from them, you won't be disappointed.
I have been using this product for a week now and am totally impressed!
Love ladybugs! love this cleaner! It's adorable and the kids love to watch it clean :)
The Aquabug is a good cleaner for a reasonable price.
I have a 24 foot round above ground pool with a 52' inch depth. The bottom is not perfectly smooth (some wrinkles and divets), but the product does a great job in about 2 to 3 hours. I plan on running it every couple of days to clean and stir up the water at the bottom of the pool.
This is a cool 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 (3 min), turn on the filter system (1 sec), and walk away - it's awsome!!! This little vacuum even handled our pool opening this year, which included a large number of leaves and a ton of very fine particles. Unlike the super expensive Pool Rover, this vacuum does not move systematically around the pool to clean in a specific period of time. It moves in ever-widening circles, then goes straight for a bit and starts circling again. It can be a little vexing to see it turn just before it gets to something that you want it to vacuum up, but if you give it time, it will get everything. We put ours in and let in run for about an hour, when we come back the pool looks great! Aqua Bug, Wanda the Whale, and Diver Dave are all the same vacuum with different housings.
