Swimables Hayward Style Cleaner Drive Gear Replacement | SW-61-007

The Swimables SW-61-007 is a replacement drive gear engineered for Hayward-style suction-side automatic pool cleaners including the Navigator, Pool Vac XL, AquaBug, and Diver Dave. The drive gear is a critical internal drivetrain component that receives rotational power from the cleaner's turbine and transfers it through the drivetrain to propel the cleaner's wheels across pool floors and walls. When the drive gear wears out, chips, or loses tooth engagement, the cleaner typically stalls, moves sluggishly, or stops advancing entirely — symptoms that are often mistaken for suction or hose issues. Replacing the SW-61-007 restores smooth, reliable mechanical power transfer and proper cleaner movement at a fraction of the cost of replacing the entire unit. Manufactured by Swimables from durable, pool-grade molded polymer designed to withstand the continuous rotational stress and chemical exposure of active pool cleaner operation.

Highlights

• Direct Replacement for Hayward-Style Cleaner Drive Systems: Engineered to match the drive gear configuration used in Hayward-style suction pool cleaners including the Navigator, Pool Vac XL, AquaBug, and Diver Dave — restoring proper turbine-to-drivetrain power transfer in compatible models.
• Restores Cleaner Movement & Pool Coverage: A worn or damaged drive gear is one of the most common causes of stalling, sluggish movement, and missed pool coverage — replacing it with the SW-61-007 restores the smooth, consistent mechanical motion required for reliable full-pool cleaning performance.
• Durable Pool-Grade Molded Polymer Construction: Manufactured from precision-molded, pool-grade polymer engineered to withstand constant rotational stress, chemical exposure, and debris contact throughout the full pool service season without premature wear or tooth degradation.
• Cost-Effective Alternative to Full Cleaner Replacement: Replacing a single worn drive gear rather than the entire cleaner is a fast, affordable repair that restores full cleaner function — making the SW-61-007 a practical solution for both pool service professionals and DIY pool owners.
• Pairs Well with Other Swimables Cleaner Parts: For a more complete drivetrain restoration, the SW-61-007 pairs naturally with other Swimables Hayward-style cleaner components including turbine kits, spindle gears, bearings, and A-frame assemblies from the SW-61 cleaner parts collection.
