Install the Turbine Assembly for Pool Cleaners

Video Transcript

Now it's time to reinstall the turbine assembly. This is truly the drive system of the cleaner. It's comprised of three pieces. This is the turbine, again, you're not going to find a lot of these broken, every once in a while they do split around the seam line if it was left in the pool while it was shocked a bunch. But other than that, you're going to have the two main drive bearings. When inspecting these, you want to make sure that the protective bushing is still in place, and if you look in the back you'll see that they're all separated, some of them, like the A frame, allow the gears to just go willy nilly all the way around, these ones be very specific. As we put it on here, you're going to notice that the bushing is actually notched, and that is exactly how it's going to fit on. These go with exposed bearings to the outside that seems counterintuitive. I'm going to move it around until it notches in place. They go on the outside because actually the flow of water and debris is towards the inside. Normally things that are on the outside, like bicycles and cars, that's where you put the protection on. And again, you simply just spin it until it sits home. As we put this in here, if you put the turbine in backwards, the cleaner just won't work. I can't tell you how many times we've had issues with people repairing it and they put it in backwards. Everything seemed to be fine except it doesn't work, it won't go backwards, it just won't go in. They've solved this problem by putting a little nipply thing right here, and a big "R" on one side. Now that associates to here where there's a little rocker or cradle for the nipple, and a big "R" and "L" indicating left and right. So, good engineering making up for easy mistakes. The other thing that's unusual is that you're going to turn these until they snap, and they're going to snap because there's a groove on the inside and it's notched on the other side. So there's a little groove in there, place it in, spin it until it snaps, do it one more time, spinning until it, there we go, see it in the mic, there we go, ah, that's a good sound right there. In this case I'm going to reinstall the bushing in there, these should not move, this should move freely. That is a beautiful turbine!
