Hayward KIT-DEFLECTOR C BLUE

The Hayward Kit-Deflector C Blue is a specialized hydrodynamic component designed specifically for Hayward’s line of suction-side automatic pool cleaners, most notably the Navigator and PoolVac series. Injection-molded from a high-impact, UV-stabilized polymer in a signature blue finish, this deflector is engineered to clip onto the front of the cleaner's housing to prevent the unit from becoming stuck in tight corners or hanging up on submerged obstacles like steps, ladders, and pool lights. Its primary mechanical function is to provide a smooth, angled surface that encourages the cleaner to pivot and redirect itself whenever it makes contact with a vertical surface, ensuring a continuous and uninterrupted cleaning pattern across the pool floor and walls. The "C" configuration is tailored for specific chassis designs to maintain the unit's balance and suction efficiency while protecting the cleaner’s internal drive components from unnecessary mechanical stress during collisions. For shipping and logistical purposes, the estimated weight of the Hayward Kit-Deflector C Blue is approximately 0.35 pounds in its retail protective packaging, while the actual weight of the plastic deflector and its mounting hardware is roughly 0.15 pounds.
