Customer-Facing Q&A
Q: How do I know if I need new turbine bearings?
A: If the cleaner’s wheel motion is noisy, the drive seems sluggish, or abnormal vibration is present, the bearings may be worn and replacement is recommended.
Q: Will these bearings fit my automatic pool cleaner?
A: They’re designed for Pentair automatic pool cleaner turbine assemblies that use model EC-80 bearings. Always verify compatibility with your cleaner model.
Q: Is this a DIY job?
A: Yes—if you’re comfortable opening the cleaner body, removing the turbine housing, replacing bearings, and reassembling. Follow all safety steps.
Q: What tools do I need?
A: You’ll need typical pool-equipment tools: screwdriver/allen wrench, lubricant for seals, and possibly a bearing puller if the old bearings are seized.
Q: Does replacing bearings restore full performance?
A: Yes—if the rest of the hydraulic system is in good condition, new bearings will restore smoother movement, better coverage, and quieter operation.
