Swimables Cleaner Steering Cam Gear Replacement | PVXH036009 | SW-61-036

The Swimables SW-61-036 is a replacement steering cam gear engineered for Hayward AquaNaut 200, AquaNaut 250, Phoenix, and Poolvergnuegen 2-wheel suction-side pool cleaners, serving as a direct replacement for OEM part number PVXH036009. The steering cam gear is the component responsible for controlling the cleaner's programmatic directional pattern — it functions as an eccentric cam that systematically alternates the cleaner's direction of travel to ensure full, even pool floor and wall coverage with every cleaning cycle. When the steering cam gear wears out or loses tooth engagement, the cleaner typically gets stuck repeating the same path, circles in one area, or fails to change direction entirely — symptoms commonly misdiagnosed as hose or suction issues. Replacing the SW-61-036 restores proper steering function and full pool coverage quickly and affordably. Note this part is specifically for 2-wheel models only and is not compatible with 4-wheel AquaNaut or Poolvergnuegen configurations.

Highlights

• Direct Replacement for Hayward PVXH036009: Engineered to match OEM specifications for the steering cam gear position in Hayward AquaNaut 200, AquaNaut 250, Phoenix, and Poolvergnuegen 2-wheel suction-side pool cleaners — a precise, drop-in fit with no modifications required.
• Restores Programmatic Directional Steering: The steering cam gear controls the cleaner's directional change pattern by functioning as an eccentric cam within the drivetrain. Replacing a worn cam gear eliminates repetitive path patterns, circling, and stuck movement — restoring systematic full-pool coverage.
• 2-Wheel Models Only — Verify Before Ordering: The SW-61-036 is specifically designed for 2-wheel AquaNaut and Poolvergnuegen configurations. It is not compatible with 4-wheel models — always confirm your cleaner's wheel configuration before ordering to ensure correct fitment.
• Durable Pool-Grade Plastic Construction: Molded from wear-resistant pool-grade plastic engineered to withstand continuous cam rotation, pool chemical exposure, and debris contact throughout the full pool service season without deforming or losing tooth engagement.
• Fast, Affordable Steering Repair: Replacing the steering cam gear rather than the full cleaner or drivetrain assembly is one of the quickest, most cost-effective repairs for AquaNaut and Poolvergnuegen 2-wheel models experiencing directional and coverage issues.
