Whether you have a gear driven or traditional suction pool cleaner, replacing parts doesn’t have to be a hassle. The Pool Team stocks all the spare parts needed to keep your pool cleaner in perfect condition for effective and efficient pool cleaning. Let’s have a look at some of the parts that may need to be replaced.
Gear Driven Suction Pool Cleaners
When it comes to gear driven pool cleaners, the most common parts that might need replacing are:
- Drive shafts
- Bearings
- Wheel rims
- Tracks
These parts tend to wear out over time. It is therefore recommended to service your pool cleaner to ensure it is still working as effectively as it should.
To make things even easier for you, The Pool Team sells all the Zodiac MX8 and MX6 replacement parts, as well as the Kreepy Krauly Dominator, Dominator Light and Dominator Pro Tune-Up kits which contain all the parts needed to keep your pool cleaner working efficiently.
Traditional Automatic Suction Pool Cleaners
The most common parts that may need to be replaced on a traditional automatic suction pool cleaner are:
- Diaphragm
- Foot pad
- Suction seal (disc/skirt)
The diaphragm pulsates and stretches as the water pressure moves through the cleaner. If the diaphragm gets pierced or worn out, the cleaner will not perform as effectively as it should. The foot pad and suction seal are constantly exposed to friction as the cleaner moves along the pool’s floor and walls. This tends to lead to wear and tear of these parts over time.
Servicing your pool cleaner and replacing these parts when necessary, will ensure your pool cleaner lasts longer and cleans your pool effectively.

Don’t forget the pool cleaner hoses!
No matter the type of automatic suction cleaner you have, one part that often gets overlooked are the pool cleaner hoses. The hoses are exposed to excessive sunlight and chemicals that can cause wear and tear over time. It is important to regularly check the pool cleaner hoses for cracks and replace them when necessary.
