HammerHead Remora Portable Pool Vacuum | XR1600
The HammerHead Remora™ XR1600 Portable Pool Vacuum delivers commercial-level cleaning performance in a compact, portable design that’s built for professionals. Drawing inspiration from the proven HammerHead vacuum system, this next-generation model offers a streamlined motor assembly, a 18-foot premium floating cable, and a lithium-powered wearable battery for unrestricted mobility. It’s ideal for technicians, resorts, community pools, builders, and maintenance crews needing full suction strength without a bulky cart setup. Weighing only 18 pounds total, the Remora combines true portability with professional reliability.
Compact Power & Portability
Weighing just 18 pounds total—13 pounds for the vacuum head and 5 pounds for the battery pack—the Remora™ is designed for freedom of movement. Its LiFePO4 lithium battery attaches comfortably via a hook-and-loop belt system, allowing users to easily navigate steps, narrow decks, and gates without dragging equipment. The system provides roughly 50 minutes of run time on high speed or up to 75 minutes on low. Each Dakota Lithium 18Ah battery delivers about 2,000 duty cycles (roughly five years of use) and recharges completely in six hours with the supplied NOCO® Genius™ G5 10AMP charger.
Engineered for Efficiency
Equipped with a 21-inch vacuum head and detachable 18-foot power cord, the XR1600 includes a convenient ergonomic handle for quick setup and transport. Its Smart Switch™ dual-speed control allows you to choose between power and endurance, while an automatic shutoff activates if the motor runs dry or the propeller becomes blocked. In high-speed mode, suction power equals that of a standard HammerHead 21-inch vacuum running at low speed—offering strong, balanced cleaning performance without needing a traditional cart or power source.
Simple, Self-Contained Operation
No hoses, priming, or filter cleanings are required. The Remora™ collects debris inside the reusable HH1508 Superfine Bag, with optional coarse, fine, and ultra-fine options available for different applications. It functions effectively in water as shallow as 12 inches, making it perfect for spas, steps, and tanning ledges where conventional systems can’t reach. Designed to simplify professional cleaning, this portable system ensures every surface of the pool is serviced efficiently and thoroughly.
