Product details

The Hayward RCX26001 is the roller bearing guide for the AquaVac TigerShark, TigerShark QC and TigerShark Plus robotic pool cleaners. It is the genuine Hayward replacement part.

What it does

The guide holds the roller in position so the brush and track run straight while the cleaner works its pattern. It spends every hour of its life in water carrying sand and grit, which is exactly the environment that wears a bearing surface out.

When to change it

Rocking or side to side play at the roller, a roller that binds instead of spinning freely, or a grinding sound while the cleaner drives all point at the guide. Left alone, the extra drag falls on the drive components, so it is a cheap part to stay ahead of.

The cleaner has to be opened to reach it, so check the matching side and the roller brush at the same time and do the whole job once.

Questions and answers

What people ask about this product, answered by our pool techs.

Which cleaners does this fit?
The Hayward AquaVac TigerShark, TigerShark QC and TigerShark Plus robotic pool cleaners.
Is this a genuine Hayward part?
Yes. It is the Hayward OEM roller bearing guide, part number RCX26001.
How do I know the bearing guide is worn?
Play or rocking at the roller, a roller that no longer spins freely, or a grinding noise as the cleaner drives are all signs the guide has had enough.
Do I need one or two?
That depends on which side has worn. Since the cleaner has to come apart either way, it is worth inspecting both sides while it is open.
