Hayward Propulsion Kit, Rebuild Kit for Navigator / Pool Vac, AXV622DPK

The Hayward AXV622DPK is the propulsion rebuild kit for Navigator and Pool Vac suction cleaners. It gathers the parts that actually wear out into one order.

What it rebuilds

The kit covers the drive train and the parts that touch the pool: turbine and bearings, pods and pod shoes, A-frames and bushings, flaps with their springs and the flap adjuster, the saddle and keeper, the white lower body and lower middle body, the access cover assembly and the straight throat assembly, along with the screws and washers that hold it all together.

Why kits beat piecemeal repair

These cleaners slow down gradually. The turbine loses efficiency, the flaps stiffen, the pod shoes wear flat, and each one takes a little off the pattern until the cleaner misses half the pool. Replacing one part at a time chases the problem for months. Rebuilding the propulsion side in one go puts the cleaner back to its original pattern.

Check the surface first

The source lists this as the universal concrete propulsion conversion, supplied in white with light gray flaps. Hayward builds separate kits for other surfaces, so confirm which set your pool needs before ordering.
