Replacing the Shoes on a Hayward Aquabug

They say the shoes make the man. Well they also make the Aquabug to. So we are going to want to make sure that our shoes are in good condition. Let me show you how to check and replace those. These are the shoes right down here and what you want to do is sort of push them down and move your finger across. If you don't feel any bumps or resistance like you do here that means well' it's not making contact with the bottom of pool and the bottom of the pods here maybe doing that. Especially keep an eye out to see if there is any rub or wear mark's there to that you will give you an idea that the hard plastic and not the soft rubber is making contact with the bottom. To remove them it's pretty easy and all you need is a flathead screwdriver. And just sort of, sort of get them underneath there and then she should just pop right out. Boop. Just like that same thing with all four of them. I am just going to take out two to show you. Now you go to your local pool dealer and they will supply you with a new set of wings. They come in sets of four. And putting them in is pretty easy. If you look here you will notice that one is larger that the other. And coincidently so are the holes in the pods. Make sure that they only go in the right way. Now here's a secret wet them just a little bit with water rub them around here. Makes them go in that much easier. Yea. So what we are going to do is just simply line then up and the trick is to kind of, kind of roll them. Put in one and then the other. We will do that again over here. Now these are new so I don't have to wet them. They still will go in nicely. Again. There is one and then the other. Whoops! Don't put them in backwards you can actually do that. I was just showing you as a course of action there. Put in one then the other. And now your cleaner has got a new set of kicks.
