Hayward AquaBug/Penguin/Wanda the Whale/DiverDave/PoolVac Ultra/PoolVac XL/PoolVac Classic/Navigator Pro/Hayward Blu Turbine Bearings – 2 Pack (AXV055P)
The turbine bearings (2 pack) are replacement parts that are made by Hayward. This makes them genuine OEM parts that all our customers can trust.
These bearings are located on opposite ends of the turbine and the purpose of these bearings is to help the turbine rotate, giving the cleaner the power and ability to maneuver by pulsating the pods back and forth with the help of the a-frames. Moving the cleaner around the entirety of the pool’s surfaces so it can suck and pull dirt debris and other forms of mulch leaving behind a crystal clear look.
These parts are larger than the normal bearings used for the other parts of the cleaner and are black. They have several steel balls that are water lubricated (do not lubricate with grease) located inside which give the ability for easy movement. When these bearings go bad this movement is affected greatly causing the decline in the cleaner’s abilities to correctly operate and will need to be replaced.
