This component helps keep the cleaner positioned correctly in the water so it can glide smoothly across floors and walls without tipping, dragging, or losing suction. When the original float drive becomes waterlogged, cracked, or worn, the cleaner may stall or behave erratically — making this part essential for restoring stable navigation and consistent debris pickup. The 370497Z installs easily onto the cleaner body for quick, reliable performance recovery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"835\" data-end=\"851\"\u003eHighlights\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"852\" data-end=\"1620\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"852\" data-end=\"1008\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"854\" data-end=\"1008\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"854\" data-end=\"885\"\u003eMaintains Correct Buoyancy:\u003c\/strong\u003e Keeps the cleaner properly balanced in the water, preventing nose-diving or tipping that can reduce cleaning efficiency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1009\" data-end=\"1172\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1011\" data-end=\"1172\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1011\" data-end=\"1043\"\u003eStabilizes Cleaner Movement:\u003c\/strong\u003e Helps the cleaner track smoothly across floors and walls by supporting the drive mechanism and maintaining proper orientation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1173\" data-end=\"1328\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1175\" data-end=\"1328\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1175\" data-end=\"1205\"\u003eOEM Replacement Component:\u003c\/strong\u003e Matches the original Pentair Kreepy Krauly float drive for exact fit, correct buoyancy levels, and reliable performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1329\" data-end=\"1469\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1331\" data-end=\"1469\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1331\" data-end=\"1368\"\u003eDurable, Water-Resistant Housing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Built from pool-grade materials that resist cracking, UV exposure, and long-term chemical contact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1470\" data-end=\"1620\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1472\" data-end=\"1620\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1472\" data-end=\"1506\"\u003eQuick and Simple Installation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Attaches directly to the cleaner body for fast servicing, ideal for restoring performance without a full rebuild.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"247\" data-end=\"266\"\u003eAdditional Info\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"267\" data-end=\"540\"\u003eThis FAQ helps in-store customers confirm that the Pentair 370497Z float drive fits their Kreepy Krauly suction cleaner.
