Swimables SW-61-038 Cleaner Turbine Hub & Vane Kit Replacement | PVXH038SA

Engineered as a direct replacement for Hayward OEM part number PVXH038SA, the Swimables SW-61-038 is a turbine hub and 6-vane kit built for Hayward AquaNaut, Phoenix, and Poolvergnuegen suction-side pool cleaners. The turbine hub and vane assembly is the primary power-generation component of these cleaners — six flexible vanes capture the water moving through the cleaner body from the pool's suction system and convert it into rotational turbine movement, which in turn powers the entire internal drivetrain, including the reduction gears, drive gears, steering cam, and wheels. The V-Flex vane design allows the flexible vanes to adapt to varying flow rates and to pass larger pieces of debris through the turbine without clogging, helping the cleaner maintain consistent power output across changing pool conditions over the season. As vanes crack, chip, or deform with age, the cleaner steadily loses turbine output, which shows up as slow movement, reduced coverage, or a cleaner that stops moving altogether. The SW-61-038 is compatible with AquaNaut 200, 250, 400, and 450 cleaners, Phoenix cleaners, Poolvergnuegen 2-wheel and 4-wheel cleaners, and Jacuzzi Tracker 2-wheel and 4-wheel cleaners.

Highlights

• OEM-Spec Turbine Hub and Vane Kit: Built to OEM specifications for the turbine hub and vane assembly position in Hayward AquaNaut 200, 250, 400, and 450, Phoenix, Poolvergnuegen 2-wheel and 4-wheel, and Jacuzzi Tracker 2-wheel and 4-wheel suction-side pool cleaners, the SW-61-038 installs as a precise, drop-in replacement during turbine service without modifications.
• Six Vanes Drive Every Internal Component: Six flexible vanes capture pool suction water flow and convert it into rotational turbine energy, and because that turbine output drives the cleaner's reduction gears, drive gears, steering cam, and wheels, replacing cracked or broken vanes with the SW-61-038 directly restores cleaner movement, climbing ability, and coverage performance across the entire pool.
• Clog-Resistant V-Flex Vane Design: V-Flex vane technology allows the vanes to flex with varying suction flow rates and let larger pieces of debris pass through the turbine assembly without jamming the rotation, which helps the cleaner maintain consistent power output as plumbing flow and debris conditions change across the swim season.
• High-Impact Repair Point: Because every downstream drivetrain component depends on power from the turbine hub and vane assembly, replacing worn vanes is one of the single most impactful repairs available on these cleaners, often resolving symptoms — sluggish movement, poor pool coverage, complete stalling — that would otherwise be misattributed to suction or hose problems.
• Compatibility Across the Cleaner Family: Fits the full range of compatible Hayward and Jacuzzi cleaner platforms in both 2-wheel and 4-wheel configurations, including AquaNaut 200 through 450, Phoenix, Poolvergnuegen 2-wheel and 4-wheel, and Jacuzzi Tracker 2-wheel and 4-wheel models, making the SW-61-038 one of the most universally useful turbine kits in the broader AquaNaut and Poolvergnuegen parts catalog.
