Hayward FIXED THROAT-WHT.

A Hayward fixed throat in white is a molded component used in certain pool cleaner models to help direct water flow smoothly into the cleaner’s internal turbine system. Its fixed‑shape design ensures consistent hydraulic performance, supporting steady suction and reliable movement across the pool surface. Made from durable, chemical‑resistant plastic, it holds up well under continuous exposure to chlorinated water and the mechanical forces of daily operation. The white finish matches common cleaner housings for a clean, integrated look. Despite its structural role, the part remains lightweight and easy to handle, with an estimated weight of about 0.1–0.2 pounds, depending on the specific model

The Hayward Fixed Throat (White) is not an independent device or an active pool cleaner—it is a molded plastic replacement part (specifically the lower body housing or throat piece, part number AXV030ALG or AXV603A).

Because it is a static plastic component, it has zero electrical parts, motors, or batteries.

Instead, the "power source" for the machine this part belongs to (suction-side cleaners like the Hayward Navigator Pro or PoolVac Ultra) comes entirely from mechanical suction generated by your pool's main filtration pump.

Here is how the power loop works to make this part and the cleaner function:

• The Primary Mover: Your pool’s main filtration pump runs on standard household electricity to push and pull water.

• The Vacuum Source: The pool cleaner attaches to a dedicated suction line or skimmer via a hose. The filtration pump pulls water through the "Fixed Throat" opening on the bottom of the cleaner.

• Turbine Power: As the water is sucked up through this throat piece, the rushing water forces an internal turbine inside the cleaner to spin. This mechanical spinning drives the gears and "A-Frames" that cause the cleaner to walk across your pool floor.

So while the plastic throat itself requires no power, it acts as the essential intake funnel that directs the pool pump's suction to drive the cleaner's movement.
