Hayward V094P PoolVac Regulator Valve

What This Part Is Used For
The Hayward V094P is a regulator valve used with compatible Hayward PoolVac suction cleaners. It helps control suction flow to the cleaner when connected through the skimmer or a dedicated vacuum line. This valve is part of keeping cleaner performance stable as the filter loads up.

Why This Part Matters
Without proper regulation, suction can swing too high or too low, which makes cleaner movement inconsistent. Too much suction can cause the cleaner to stall on the floor or climb too aggressively, while too little suction leads to weak pickup and missed areas. A working regulator helps protect the pump from being overdrawn through the cleaner line. It also makes cleaner setup more predictable after filter cleanings and pump changes.
