Restore Cleaner Mobility & Coverage with the Polaris C36 Swing Axle
The Polaris C36 Swing Axle is a genuine OEM replacement part designed to keep your Polaris pressure-side pool cleaner operating smoothly. Compatible with the Polaris 180, 280, 360, and 380 models, the swing axle plays a critical role in helping your cleaner turn, climb, and maneuver throughout the pool.
If your cleaner struggles to change direction, misses areas, or shows reduced wall-climbing ability, a worn or broken swing axle may be the culprit. Replacing it with the Polaris C36 restores your cleaner’s agility and ensures complete pool coverage.
Why the Swing Axle Is Essential
The swing axle assembly helps direct the cleaner’s movement, allowing it to pivot and steer properly. Without it functioning correctly, your Polaris cleaner may:
-
Travel in repetitive patterns or get stuck in corners.
-
Struggle to climb pool walls.
-
Leave dirty spots due to reduced directional control.
The Polaris C36 replacement part ensures smooth navigation so your cleaner can perform as intended.
