Hayward PILOT GENERATOR

A Hayward pilot generator is a small but essential component used in certain Hayward automatic pool cleaners to help regulate and stabilize the internal water‑driven motion that powers the cleaner’s movement. It works by channeling incoming water flow through a precisely shaped internal passage, creating controlled pulses that help the cleaner maintain consistent tracking and effective debris pickup. Built from durable, chemical‑resistant materials, it’s designed to withstand continuous exposure to chlorinated water and the mechanical stresses of daily operation. Despite its functional importance, the pilot generator remains compact and easy to handle, with an estimated weight of about 0.1–0.2 pounds, depending on the specific model
