HammerHead XR1600 Remora Portable Pool Vacuum

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.

Key Features of the HammerHead XR1600 Remora

• True Grab-and-Go Portability: The 5 lb LiFePO4 battery attaches securely to your belt or shoulder strap, allowing full mobility through tight decks, steps, and narrow access areas without heavy carts or extension cords.

• Commercial-Grade Suction Power: High-speed mode matches the low-speed suction of a standard 21” HammerHead unit, effectively collecting sand, silt, and leaves while maintaining steady flow and full cleaning coverage.

• Smart Switch™ Safety & Control: Dual-speed settings provide flexibility for light or heavy debris conditions, while automatic shutoff protects the motor when dry or obstructed, ensuring longer service life.

• Self-Contained Filtration System: The included HH1508 Superfine Bag captures smaller debris particles; optional coarse, fine, and ultra-fine mesh bags adapt to different cleaning needs without hoses or filter backwashing.

• Efficient Shallow-Water Performance: Capable of operating in just 12 inches of water, the system easily cleans steps, tanning ledges, and spas that other vacuums cannot effectively reach.

• Extended Battery Life & Fast Charging: Each Dakota Lithium 18Ah battery lasts about 2,000 duty cycles—roughly five years of daily use—and recharges fully in only six hours with the included NOCO® Genius™ G5 charger.

• Lightweight Yet Durable Construction: The 21" vacuum head and 18' floating power cord weigh only 13 lb; the full system weighs 18 lb and ships at 23 lb, offering a rugged yet portable build for professional use.

• Professional, Field-Tested Design: All components are purpose-built for the Remora platform, ensuring reliable performance and long-term durability without interchangeability issues with full-size units.
