SW-61-008 | PVXH008PK2 | Swimables Cleaner Small Drive Gear Replacement 2 Pack

The Swimables SW-61-008 is a 2-pack of small drive gear replacements engineered for Hayward AquaNaut and Poolvergnuegen suction-side pool cleaners, serving as a direct replacement for OEM part number PVXH008PK2. The small drive gear sits within the cleaner's drivetrain and transfers rotational power from the turbine to the steering mechanism, enabling smooth directional changes, reliable wheel movement, and consistent pool coverage across pool floors and walls. A worn or chipped small drive gear is a leading cause of erratic steering, stalling, and uneven pool coverage in AquaNaut and PoolCleaner series models, and these symptoms often get misdiagnosed as larger drivetrain or suction issues. The SW-61-008 2-pack provides enough gears for a complete drivetrain refresh, restoring full cleaner performance at a fraction of the cost of a new unit.

Highlights

• Direct Hayward PVXH008PK2 Replacement: The SW-61-008 is engineered to match OEM specifications for the small drive gear position in Hayward AquaNaut 200, 250, 400, and 450 cleaners as well as Poolvergnuegen 2-wheel and 4-wheel suction-side pool cleaners, providing a precise, drop-in fit during drivetrain service work with no modifications required.
• Restores Steering and Directional Control: The small drive gear transfers turbine power to the cleaner's steering mechanism, allowing the unit to navigate pool surfaces with precision, and replacing worn gears with the SW-61-008 set eliminates the erratic movement, stalling, and missed coverage areas that develop as the original gears wear down.
• 2-Pack for a Complete Drivetrain Refresh: Each kit includes two small drive gears, providing enough hardware to fully replace both gear positions simultaneously, ensuring balanced, even power delivery through the drivetrain and maximizing the service life of the repair rather than mixing one worn gear with one new gear.
• Wear-Resistant Pool-Grade Plastic: Molded from premium wear-resistant plastic engineered to withstand continuous rotational stress, chlorinated pool chemical exposure, and contact with debris pulled into the cleaner, the SW-61-008 gears hold up through the full pool service season without premature deformation or tooth degradation.
• Cheaper Than a New Cleaner: Replacing a worn small drive gear set rather than the entire AquaNaut or PoolCleaner unit is a fast, affordable repair that restores full cleaning performance, making the SW-61-008 a practical, budget-friendly fix for pool owners maintaining their own equipment and service professionals managing customer fleets across busy summer routes.
