iFJF AXV417WHP Complete Pool Cleaner Replacement Kit — Hayward Navigator / Pool Vac Ultra
When your Hayward Navigator or Pool Vac Ultra has been running for a few seasons, it's rarely just one part that's worn. The pods lose their grip, the turbine slows down, the wings lose their bite, and the flaps stop sealing. Replacing one piece at a time becomes a frustrating game of whack-a-mole. The iFJF AXV417WHP Complete Kit addresses all the common wear points in one box — pods, shoes, turbine, wings, and flaps. One service session, one box, and your cleaner performs like new again.
Key Features & Benefits
All Wear Components — One Kit
Includes left and right replacement pods, 4 pod shoes, turbine, wing set, and flap set. Every part that wears out from normal daily use is covered. No separate trips to the pool store, no mismatched parts, no guessing which component is the problem.
Restores Complete Cleaning Performance
New pods and shoes restore wall climbing. A fresh turbine restores suction-driven movement speed. New wings and flaps restore random-pattern navigation so the cleaner covers the entire pool instead of tracing the same path repeatedly.
10 Minutes per Season
All components are designed for easy replacement with a Phillips screwdriver. The entire kit can be installed in about 10-15 minutes. A quick annual service keeps your Hayward cleaner performing at its best.

When to Replace Each Component
-
Pods & Shoes: Annual replacement or when the cleaner stops climbing walls and tipping over.
-
Turbine: Replace when the cleaner moves noticeably slower than when new, or the turbine vanes show visible wear.
-
Wings: Replace when the cleaner repeats the same path or gets stuck in corners. Worn wings lose their random-redirect ability.
-
Flaps: Replace when the cleaner has weak suction against the pool surface or won't stay on the floor/walls.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the complete kit take to install?
About 10-15 minutes with a Phillips screwdriver. Each component is designed for tool-free or single-tool replacement. The pods unscrew from the bottom, the turbine and flaps are accessible from the bottom, and the wings clip onto the top.
Can I just buy individual parts instead?
Yes, individual components are available separately. However, if your cleaner is several seasons old, chances are multiple parts are worn. The complete kit saves money compared to buying all components individually and ensures everything fits and works together.
Will this fit a Pool Vac XL?
Yes. The Pool Vac XL uses the same pod, turbine, wing, and flap components as the Navigator and Pool Vac Ultra. This kit is fully compatible.
Is any adhesive or lubricant needed for installation?
No adhesives or lubricants are required. All parts clip, snap, or screw into place. Using silicone lubricant on the shoes can actually reduce traction — keep them clean and dry for best grip.
