The upper body turbine serves as both a structural housing and a functional component of the cleaner's turbine assembly — enclosing and supporting the internal turbine mechanism that converts pool suction water flow into the rotational energy powering the cleaner's drivetrain. A cracked, warped, or broken upper body turbine compromises internal water flow dynamics and can cause debris intrusion, loss of turbine power, and erratic cleaner movement. Manufactured by Swimables from durable, pool-grade materials engineered to withstand continuous pool chemical exposure and the mechanical demands of active suction cleaner operation. Always verify compatibility with your specific cleaner model before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\"\u003eHighlights\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStructural \u0026amp; Functional Turbine Component:\u003c\/strong\u003e The upper body turbine encloses and supports the internal turbine mechanism, maintaining correct water flow direction and turbine alignment — both critical to consistent drivetrain power output and reliable pool coverage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRestores Water Flow Dynamics \u0026amp; Turbine Performance:\u003c\/strong\u003e A cracked or damaged upper body allows water to bypass the turbine assembly improperly, reducing rotational output and causing the cleaner to slow, stall, or move erratically — replacing it restores full turbine efficiency.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrevents Debris Intrusion into the Turbine Assembly:\u003c\/strong\u003e Intact upper body housing keeps debris out of the internal turbine mechanism, protecting gears, bearings, and vanes from premature wear caused by debris ingestion during active cleaning.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDurable Pool-Grade Construction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Molded from chemical-resistant, pool-grade materials built to withstand continuous water pressure, pool chemical exposure, and the mechanical stress of daily suction cleaner operation without cracking, warping, or degrading.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePairs with Other Swimables SW-61 Cleaner Parts:\u003c\/strong\u003e For a more thorough turbine assembly restoration, the SW-61-068 pairs naturally with other Swimables cleaner components including turbine hub and vane kits, turbine bearings, spindle gears, and drive gears from the SW-61 parts collection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Swimables","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53327854666028,"sku":"SW-61-068","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0698\/1943\/3260\/files\/sosSwimablesCleanerUpperBodyTurbineSW-61-068_2.jpg?v=1781538156","url":"https:\/\/www.sospool.com\/products\/swimables-cleaner-upper-body-turbine-sw-61-068","provider":"SOS Pool \u0026 Spa Supplies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
