Hayward AXV621DAT Pool Vac A-Frame/Turbine Kit

Parts replaced with no issues. Old vacuum works good again

I installed a non OEM kit two years ago that had several parts fail. This is a Hayward OEM kit that corrected the problems. Although slightly more expensive than the generic one, it's worth it. Parts fit like they're supposed to and it was pretty easy to install, even if your not mechanically inclined. The instructions for removal of the old mechanism and installation of the new parts were easy to understand but make sure you follow them in proper sequence. Total time for the project was under an hour.

Fit great.

The kit and the directions were easy to follow and install. The one that came out dropped ball bearings all over the floor, as it seems one of the rollers had fallen apart. Found a screw in the unit that should not have been there, which is better than the rock and then the frog I once had to remove. Screw came from the pool drain protection cover as it turns out, and took a scuba diver to swim down and replace. The joys of owning a pool.. After replacement of the Hayward AXV621DAT Pool Vac A-Frame/Turbine Kit I tried the unit in the pool, water at about 42 degrees, the unit worked for one sweep of the pool and then turned upside down, the flex hoses are to stiff at this temperature and did not allow the cleaner to do its thing. Seems to be floating off the bottom with not enough suction. Cleaned end vents, and made sure all air was out, still not working. Ordered new pads to see if it helps. Before all this happened the pool vac would climb the walls and almost leave the pool. Now, well I set the small blue screw behind the pods to III but still not working. May have to wait to summer when the water hits 75 to 80 degrees.

First, Amazon was half the price of the local pool store. When I was untangling the hose every morning before work I felt the bearings were wearing down. Sure enough they were. There are bearings that move the rockers/legs and another set that move the turbine. Both were shot. First I replaced the legs, wings and pads (also from Amazon at half the price). Things worked well for a month or two and then I found a screw in the filter. It was from the bracket that held the rocker bearings (for lack of a better description). So after installnig all the parts in this kit, things are working great. Do be aware however you will need to completely disassemble the unit. About the only piece not included in this set is a little red piece you will encounter when you get at the turbine bearings. Simple to put back in, just recall where it came from. Great product and good savings!

It was shipped in a timely manner. I have used this product before so I am familiar with it. The instructions were clear and adequate. The parts looked to be quality and OEM. The price was much better than going to a local pool store like Leslies - where the managers and employees act like they are doing YOU the favor to even be there. Incidentally - I have used the old standard Hayward navigator pool vac for many years as well as a couple of other brands. The Hayward may or may not nbe the absolute best gadget for the job - but it does do a pretty good job. The parts are all plastcic - so they do wear out even if 'lubricated' by the water. When a unit has had a few years of service and a new set of 'feet' or 'wings' doesn't make it travel any faster - as like when it was new - it is time to do an A-frame kit replacement. In most cases it will restore the performance to like when it was new

After years of hard work, my Hayward Navigator was barely moving. The best thing about the Hayward is that it's extremely simple to work on with just a screw driver. I decided to get mine back in tip top shape. I started with a new gear box (AXV408P) plus this kit (AXV621DAT). That got mine moving again. I thought I should probably also replace the wings and feet (AXV414604WHP) because mine were showing wear. I also opted for new legs (AXV417WHP). That got my Hayward moving forward but it wasn't turning around at the end of the pool. I decided to replace the top gears (AXV079VP). My very top cone gear looked OK and probably didn't need to be replaced but I found an Amazon Warehouse deal for $17 so I ordered it (AXV070) and a new bushing for the top cone (AXV306). With all that I have my pool robot back up and running. It took a bit of effort to figure out what to order so I'll post this review for each of the kits I've ordered and hopefully help somebody else.

The positive reviews were accurate descriptions of my experience. Easy to instal ( I do have many decades of DIY progects so not a newby here), but dissamble the old in such a maner to keep the sequence and orientation of the parts. Putting it back together was easy, nothing requires force. It might require some gentle wiggling to get the parts to go back together.

Fantastic kit to rebuild your Hayward pool vac . Watched a YouTube video for a detailed process and it worked beautifully . Money well spent !!

I wasn't sure what was wrong with my Navigator as it seemed to be cleaning the same spot all the time and not moving about the pool. It's the original unit, 12 years old with only the feet having been replaced, so I took a chance on this kit after researching the problem online. It arrived a day earlier than promised, was easy to replace (it came with an instruction sheet), and it fit my unit perfectly. Best of all this kit saved me from having to buy a new unit. The old Navigator has new life and is working properly, cleaning the pool again. Highly recommend this seller.

On my second Hayward vac. Threw the first one out without thinking of trying to repair it. When second one started to go watched a few YouTube videos, bought parts on Amazon and unit works good as new. Easy fix. 1/10th. The cost of a new one!!

tres bien merci

I repaired my Hayward lady Bug last fall and the Vacuum worked perfectly all summer. Fantastic Kit, keeping a good product going longer.
