XR1600 | HammerHead Remora Portable Pool Vacuum

HammerHead Remora Portable Pool Vacuum | XR1600

The HammerHead Remora™ Portable Pool Vacuum XR1600 brings the performance of professional-grade pool cleaning into a lightweight, fully portable design. Built on the legacy of the original HammerHead vacuum system, the Remora features a compact motor assembly, a shortened 18-foot premium floating power cable, and a wearable lithium battery pack that lets you clean anywhere with complete freedom. Ideal for pool technicians, resorts, apartment complexes, builders, and service professionals, the Remora delivers commercial-level suction power in a highly mobile package that weighs only 18 pounds.

Compact Power & Portability

At just 18 pounds total, including a 13-pound vacuum head and a 5-pound battery pack, the Remora™ is designed for mobility. Its wearable lithium battery pack attaches securely via a hook-and-loop belt, allowing you to move freely across tight decks, up steps, through gates, and around landscaping without dragging heavy carts or cords. The unit operates underwater for approximately 50 minutes on high speed or 75 minutes on low speed, powered by the durable Dakota Lithium LiFePO4 18Ah battery. Each pack provides up to 2,000 duty cycles (approximately five years of service) and can be fully recharged in just six hours using the included NOCO® Genius™ G5 10AMP lithium charger.

Engineered for Efficiency

The XR1600 features a 21-inch vacuum head with a detachable 18-foot cord and an ergonomic carry handle. Its Smart Switch™ system includes two speed settings and an automatic safety shutoff that activates if the propeller becomes obstructed or if the motor runs out of the water for over a minute. The suction power on high speed is equivalent to a standard HammerHead 21” vacuum running on low, delivering strong, consistent cleaning performance without being tethered to a traditional power supply.

Simple, Self-Contained Operation

The Remora™ eliminates the need for priming, hoses, or filter cleaning interruptions. All debris is collected in the included reusable HH1508 Superfine Debris Bag, with optional bags available in coarse, fine, and ultra-fine grades for different cleaning applications. Designed for efficiency and convenience, the vacuum operates in as little as 12 inches of water, making it ideal for spas, shallow pools, and tight cleaning areas where traditional systems struggle.

Key Features of the HammerHead Remora XR1600

• True grab-and-go portability: Wear the 5 lb LiFePO4 battery pack on your hip/shoulder for unrestricted movement; clean decks with stairs, narrow gates, or tight landscaping with ease. This eliminates cart logistics and speeds every service stop.

• Commercial suction in a compact form: High-speed mode matches the low-speed performance of a standard HammerHead 21" head, delivering confident pickup of sand, silt, and leaves. Low speed extends runtime without sacrificing coverage.

• Smart Switch™ safety & control: Two-speed operation adapts to debris loads, while auto-shutoff protects the motor if the prop is blocked or runs dry. This reduces wear and helps the unit survive tough field conditions.

• Self-contained debris capture: Included HH1508 Superfine bag traps fine particles; optional coarse/fine/ultra-fine grades tailor pickup to any pool. No hoses, priming, or filter backwashing interruptions are required.

• Engineered for shallow work: Operates in just 12 inches of water, so you can vacuum steps, tanning ledges, and spas that traditional systems often miss—improving overall job quality.

• Long battery life & fast turnaround: ~2,000 duty cycles (about 5 years at one cycle/day) keep fleets productive; the NOCO® Genius™ G5 charger brings packs back in ~6 hours for the next route.

• Lightweight but durable build: The 21" head with detachable 18' float cord weighs 13 lb and includes a carry handle; the full kit is 18 lb, with a 23 lb ship weight—easy to transport to any site.

• Professional, field-ready system: Purpose-built components are not cross-compatible with full-size HammerHead units, ensuring a reliable, optimized portable platform.
