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

The Swimables SW-61-038 is a replacement turbine hub and 6-vane kit engineered for Hayward AquaNaut, Phoenix, and Poolvergnuegen suction-side pool cleaners, serving as a direct replacement for OEM part number PVXH038SA. The turbine hub and vane assembly is the primary power-generation component of these cleaners — six flexible vanes capture the water flowing through the cleaner body from the pool's suction system and convert it into rotational turbine movement that powers the entire 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 pass larger debris through the turbine without clogging, maintaining consistent power output across different pool conditions. When vanes crack, chip, or deform with age, the cleaner loses turbine output, slowing movement, reducing coverage, or stopping altogether. Compatible with AquaNaut 200, 250, 400, and 450, Phoenix, Poolvergnuegen 2-wheel and 4-wheel, and Jacuzzi Tracker 2-wheel and 4-wheel cleaners.

Highlights

• Direct Replacement for Hayward PVXH038SA: Engineered to match OEM specifications for the turbine hub and vane position in 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 — a precise, drop-in fit with no modifications required.
• Six Flexible Vanes for Maximum Turbine Power: Six vanes capture pool suction water flow and convert it into the rotational turbine energy that drives the cleaner's entire internal drivetrain — replacing cracked or broken vanes restores full turbine output and brings the cleaner back to peak movement and coverage performance.
• V-Flex Technology for Clog-Resistant Operation: The flexible V-Flex vane design adapts to varying suction flow rates and allows larger debris to pass through the turbine assembly without jamming or clogging — maintaining consistent cleaning power across different pool conditions and debris loads.
• Restores Full Drivetrain Power: The turbine hub and vane assembly is the power source for every downstream drivetrain component — reduction gears, drive gears, steering cam, and wheels all depend on turbine output. Replacing worn vanes is one of the single most impactful repairs for restoring full cleaner performance.
• Broad Compatibility Across 2-Wheel & 4-Wheel Models: Fits the full range of compatible Hayward and Jacuzzi cleaner platforms in both 2-wheel and 4-wheel configurations — making the SW-61-038 one of the most widely applicable turbine replacement kits in the AquaNaut and Poolvergnuegen parts catalog.
