Hayward V305P PoolVac Bumper Kit

What This Part Is Used For
The Hayward V305P is a bumper kit for compatible Hayward PoolVac suction pool cleaners. The bumper helps the cleaner deflect off walls, steps, and obstacles while it moves around the pool. This kit is used when the existing bumper is worn, missing, or not staying in place.

Why This Part Matters
When bumpers wear out, the cleaner can hang up on steps, ladders, or corners and stop cleaning effectively. That leads to missed areas and more manual vacuuming. A proper bumper helps the cleaner change direction smoothly and maintain coverage. Replacing worn bumpers is a simple fix that can bring a sluggish cleaner back to normal behavior.

About the Hayward Brand
Hayward manufactures complete residential pool systems including pumps, filters, heaters, automation, cleaners, chlorination equipment, and service parts. Their PoolVac cleaners integrate with standard skimmer suction setups found on many pools. This compatibility makes cleaner repairs straightforward and keeps performance consistent when circulation is balanced. Hayward replacement parts are widely supported in the pool industry.

Common Service Context
Techs typically replace bumpers when a cleaner keeps sticking on steps or repeatedly gets trapped in the same spot. You often notice worn bumpers by flattened sections, cracks, or the cleaner riding too close to obstacles.
