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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"1140\" data-end=\"1154\"\u003eHighlights\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"1155\" data-end=\"1855\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1155\" data-end=\"1293\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1157\" data-end=\"1293\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1157\" data-end=\"1186\"\u003eRestores Proper Buoyancy:\u003c\/strong\u003e Keeps the cleaner correctly positioned in the water to prevent nose-diving, tipping, or uneven tracking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1294\" data-end=\"1437\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1296\" data-end=\"1437\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1296\" data-end=\"1328\"\u003eStabilizes Overall Movement:\u003c\/strong\u003e Supports balanced travel across floors and walls by maintaining the orientation needed for steady suction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1438\" data-end=\"1585\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1440\" data-end=\"1585\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1440\" data-end=\"1468\"\u003eOEM Pentair Replacement:\u003c\/strong\u003e Matches the original Kreepy Krauly float drive for accurate buoyancy levels, alignment, and long-term reliability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1586\" data-end=\"1714\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1588\" data-end=\"1714\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1588\" data-end=\"1617\"\u003eDurable Pool-Grade Build:\u003c\/strong\u003e Resistant to cracking, UV exposure, and chemical contact to withstand daily pool environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1715\" data-end=\"1855\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1717\" data-end=\"1855\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1717\" data-end=\"1747\"\u003eFast, Direct Installation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Attaches quickly to the cleaner body for an easy service solution without requiring a full cleaner rebuild.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"2435\" data-end=\"2454\"\u003eAdditional Info\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2455\" data-end=\"2722\"\u003eThis FAQ helps customers verify compatibility with Kreepy Krauly cleaners, compare pricing across locations, and plan cleaner maintenance before checking nearby Wholesale Pool Mart stock.
