Swimables Cleaner Wheel Bearings Replacement | PVX976PK2 | SW-61-976

The Swimables SW-61-976 is a 2-pack of replacement wheel bearings engineered for Hayward AquaNaut, Phoenix, Poolvergnuegen, and Jacuzzi Tracker suction-side pool cleaners, serving as a direct replacement for OEM part number PVX976PK2. Positioned on both sides of each wheel, the wheel bearings enable smooth, low-friction rotation that allows the cleaner to maneuver efficiently across pool floors, walls, and steps without dragging, wobbling, or stalling. When wheel bearings wear out or become damaged, the cleaner loses its free-rolling movement — leading to sluggish performance, uneven pool coverage, and increased wear on other drivetrain components. Replacing the SW-61-976 restores smooth, consistent wheel rotation and extends the overall service life of the cleaner. Compatible with AquaNaut 200, 250, 400, and 450, Phoenix 2-wheel and 4-wheel, Poolvergnuegen 2-wheel and 4-wheel, and Jacuzzi Tracker 2-wheel and 4-wheel suction-side pool cleaner models.

Highlights

• Direct Replacement for Hayward PVX976PK2: Engineered to match OEM specifications for the wheel bearing position on Hayward AquaNaut 200, 250, 400, and 450, Phoenix, Poolvergnuegen, and Jacuzzi Tracker 2-wheel and 4-wheel suction-side pool cleaners — a precise, drop-in fit with no modifications required.
• Restores Smooth, Friction-Free Wheel Rotation: Positioned on both sides of each wheel hub, these bearings eliminate the rolling resistance caused by worn or damaged bearings — restoring the free, low-friction wheel movement the cleaner needs for consistent speed, coverage, and maneuverability across all pool surfaces.
• Reduces Wobble & Prevents Drivetrain Wear: Worn wheel bearings cause lateral wheel wobble that increases stress on axles, wheel hubs, and adjacent drivetrain components — replacing them promptly with the SW-61-976 prevents secondary wear and extends the service life of the full wheel assembly.
• 2-Pack for a Complete Wheel Service: Includes two replacement bearings — sufficient to service both sides of a single wheel or replace one bearing per side across two wheels simultaneously — ensuring balanced, even rolling performance throughout the cleaner's full coverage cycle.
• Broad Compatibility Across 2-Wheel & 4-Wheel Models: Confirmed fitment across the full range of compatible Hayward and Jacuzzi cleaner platforms in both 2-wheel and 4-wheel configurations, making the SW-61-976 one of the most widely applicable wheel bearing replacements in the AquaNaut and Poolvergnuegen parts catalog.
