## Description

Equipped with patented SmartDrive® technology, the Wanda the Whale Cleaner from Hayward is designed to automatically clean the bottom of all sizes and shapes of above-ground and on-ground pools quickly and completely—making sure no debris is left behind. It operates separately from your pool’s filtration system and connects directly to your skimmer, installing in less than 10 minutes without tools. A unique turbine system helps Wanda the Whale move gently across the bottom of your pool, providing exceptionally quiet performance while improving circulation by pulling water up from the bottom of the pool as it moves. A deluxe bumper ring reduces friction, guiding it away from walls, steps and ladders to continue the cleaning cycle until the job is done. This model comes with a 32 ft. hose

Review: As good as the expensive ones, if not better! - Love our Wanda!! we have had three of these since 2015. She does a great job. We’ve never had a tail issue and the only reason we had to get the third one is cause I accidentally slammed her in the box that we store her in, and I broke her flipper on the bottom. The kids love watching her and we also have the leaf catcher that I add usually only the beginning of the year unless a storm comes through. Extremely happy with our purchase.
Review: So worth it! - This is the 3rd year of Wanda and I am very happy with her. Pros: keeps pool clean with minimal effort on my part. Picks up more than my push vaccum head. Helps keep pool water warmer by circulating the cooler bottom water with the warmer water on top (in combo with solar cover). Can be used with solar cover on. Easy to take apart to replace parts/remove rocks or other stuck items. Cons: She sometimes gets stuck in place. I just pick her up and move her and shes fine. it doesn't happen often and is not even really a con. It's a more affordable machine so I do not expect it to be running like a thousand dollar vaccum. IMO, she is worth every penny. When she finally gives out I will but another one.

**Q: What is the minimum pump hp and/or gallons per hour required to operate properly?**
A: We have a 1.5 Hayward pump and it works wonderfully

**Q: Can you order just a replacement tail for Wanda? Mine was damaged in an unfortunate land shark (dog) attack.**

### ⭐ Do Not buy
*by A***A on September 21, 2025*

I bought this in July a couple weeks later it stopped working. I requested a return but I didn't have the original box anymore. I was told I could ship it in any box so I did when I saw the refund they only refunded me $15 out of the $170 because according to them 1- it was in the incorrect box 2- the one I returned was an old wanda the paunt was faded and didn't look new (I've only haded in the pool never out the pool unless it was at night when we were in there) 3- they said they get new equipment each year and the serial number on the wanda I returned is from March 2021 so according to them this couldn't be the wanda I bought in July 2025 I got my house this year and since we have the space we got our kids an above ground pool. So there is no way I would have bought it in March 2021 to have it ready for 2025 and if i want them to return wanda I need to pay shipping for it and all im getting back is $15. They sell old equipment and blame it on the buyer it's old Some one gifted me the shark and I can say we've had it for a week and it has worked amazing for us. It's nice how it has the brush in the bottom and gives the option to move it around manually as well if needed. DO NOT RECOMMEND WANDA. SAVE YOUR MONEY THEN THEY DON'T WANT TO REFUND AND BLAME IT ON THE BUYER THAT THEY RETURNED AND OLD EQUIPMENT WHEN THAT IS WHAT THEY SENT
