Pentair Kreepy Krauly Float Drive | 370497Z

The Pentair 370497Z Float Drive is an OEM float and balance component engineered to keep Kreepy Krauly suction-side cleaners level and properly oriented during operation. It maintains buoyancy and stabilizes steering so the cleaner can travel smoothly across floors and walls without dragging or losing suction. When the original float drive becomes damaged or waterlogged, the cleaner may wobble, stall, or skip sections of the pool. Built from sturdy, pool-grade materials designed for long-term exposure, the 370497Z installs easily on the cleaner body and restores consistent navigation and reliable debris pickup.

Highlights

• Improves Cleaner Balance: Maintains the buoyancy needed to keep the cleaner from dipping or drifting during operation.

• Enhances Navigation Stability: Helps the cleaner track evenly across floors, walls, and transitions for better coverage.

• OEM Correct Fit: Matches the original Pentair float drive used on Kreepy Krauly units for dependable alignment and performance.

• Long-Lasting Construction: Pool-grade materials resist cracking, UV exposure, and chemical wear for extended service life.

• Simple Replacement Process: Installs directly on the cleaner body, making it an efficient fix for steering or buoyancy issues.
