Pentair 370497Z Kreepy Krauly Float Drive

The Pentair 370497Z Float Drive is an OEM Pentair replacement component designed to restore the correct buoyancy and steering balance of Kreepy Krauly suction-side cleaners. The float drive helps the cleaner maintain proper positioning in the water so it can glide smoothly across floors and walls without tipping, dragging, or losing suction. When the original unit becomes cracked, waterlogged, or worn, the cleaner may stall or behave unpredictably, reducing coverage and debris pickup. Built from durable, pool-grade materials, the 370497Z installs quickly on the cleaner body and provides a fast, reliable way to recover stable navigation and consistent cleaning performance.

Highlights

• Restores Proper Buoyancy: Keeps the cleaner correctly positioned in the water to prevent nose-diving, tipping, or uneven tracking.

• Stabilizes Overall Movement: Supports balanced travel across floors and walls by maintaining the orientation needed for steady suction.

• OEM Pentair Replacement: Matches the original Kreepy Krauly float drive for accurate buoyancy levels, alignment, and long-term reliability.

• Durable Pool-Grade Build: Resistant to cracking, UV exposure, and chemical contact to withstand daily pool environments.

• Fast, Direct Installation: Attaches quickly to the cleaner body for an easy service solution without requiring a full cleaner rebuild.
