Frequently Asked Questions

What is the flush plug used for on a Hayward pool cleaner?

The flush plug (also called the drain plug) seals the drain port on the underside or body of the Hayward Pool Vac or Navigator pool cleaner. It is removed to drain water from the cleaner body when taking the cleaner out of the pool for storage or servicing. Without the plug in place during operation, air can enter the cleaner, reducing suction efficiency.

Will a missing drain plug affect my cleaner's performance?

Yes — if the drain plug is missing or not seated correctly, air can be drawn into the cleaner body through the open drain port. This reduces the suction available to drive the cleaner and can cause erratic movement or loss of wall-climbing ability. Replacing the plug is a simple, low-cost fix.

Is this compatible with all Hayward Pool Vac models?

Part SP1022B suits the Hayward Pool Vac and Navigator ranges. Check your cleaner's parts diagram or the existing plug for the part number to confirm compatibility. If you are unsure, contact us with your cleaner model before ordering.
