Application & Use

This universal turbine drive shaft assembly replaces the internal shaft that transmits turbine rotation to the cleaner’s drivetrain. Over time, turbine shafts can wear, bend, or corrode, leading to loss of propulsion or erratic movement. Installing a fully assembled replacement helps restore proper power transfer, improves wheel drive consistency, and supports efficient debris pickup across the pool surface.
