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

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 its movement, reducing pool coverage, or stopping the cleaner altogether. The SW-61-038 is 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 Hayward PVXH038SA Replacement: The SW-61-038 is engineered to match OEM specifications for the turbine hub and vane position in AquaNaut 200, 250, 400, and 450 cleaners, Phoenix cleaners, Poolvergnuegen 2-wheel and 4-wheel cleaners, and Jacuzzi Tracker 2-wheel and 4-wheel cleaners, providing a precise, drop-in fit with no modifications required during turbine service work.
• Six Vanes for Maximum Turbine Output: Six flexible vanes capture pool suction water flow and convert it into the rotational turbine energy that drives the cleaner's entire internal drivetrain, and replacing cracked or broken vanes restores full turbine output and brings the cleaner back to peak movement, climbing, and coverage performance after extended service wear.
• V-Flex Vane Technology: The flexible V-Flex vane design adapts to varying suction flow rates and allows larger debris items to pass through the turbine assembly without jamming or clogging the rotation, maintaining consistent cleaning power across different pool conditions, debris loads, and seasonal variations in plumbing flow.
• Source of Power for the Entire Drivetrain: Because the turbine hub and vane assembly generates the power that every downstream drivetrain component depends on — reduction gears, drive gears, steering cam, and wheels — replacing worn vanes is one of the single most impactful repairs available for restoring full performance to a sluggish or non-functional cleaner.
• Wide AquaNaut, Phoenix, Poolvergnuegen, and Jacuzzi Coverage: Fits the full range of compatible Hayward and Jacuzzi cleaner platforms in both 2-wheel and 4-wheel configurations, including AquaNaut 200 through 450, Phoenix, Poolvergnuegen 2-wheel and 4-wheel, and Jacuzzi Tracker 2-wheel and 4-wheel, making the SW-61-038 one of the most widely applicable turbine kits in the AquaNaut and Poolvergnuegen parts catalog.
