PoolVac/Navigator® V-Flex™ Upgrade Kit Installation Video

The V-Flex Upgrade Kit will convert your old PoolVac or Navigator into the a PoolVac V-Flex or Navigator V-Flex cleaner.

The V-Flex turbine is superior to the standard fixed turbine and this upgrade kit is an affordable way to update your still working older cleaner.

One of the biggest drawbacks with these cleaners is that the A-Frame and Turbine would wear out often. Then your cleaner would be a nice pool ornament sitting on the bottom.  The A-Frame in the V-Flex Turbine in this upgrade kit will solve that problem.

The A-Frame is now has no bearings and works off of a very strong large bearing that sits on the Turbine. So this part should last a very long time.

The V-Flex Turbine is designed to pick up larger debris than the old fixed turbine. So the cleaner will operate in the pool without getting jammed with debris.

The Upgrade kit is fairly easy to install and all you need are three tools:


A Phillips Screwdriver
A Standard Flat Screwdriver
A 1/4 Socket Wrench

It takes very little mechanical skill and I go over each step in this video for you. It takes less than 20 minutes to install this kit and the steps are very easy to follow.

The Upgrade Kit comes with the following parts:

V-Flex Turbine kit
Bearing free A-Frame kit and retainer
Replacement Shoes (x4)
Replacement Wings (x2)
Suction inlet (Throat)  

They also make an Upgrade Kit Plus for the pool service professional that comes with four additional parts - two Pods and Two Flaps:

V-Flex Turbine kit
Bearing free A-Frame kit and retainer
Replacement Shoes (x4)
Replacement Wings (x2)
Suction inlet (Throat)
Pod Kit
Front and Rear Flaps

The Upgrade Kit is part of Hayward's Expert line and it is available at your local pool store or local wholesale distributor. The Kit will not be available online.

So if your PoolVac or Navigator is still looking good, Upgrade it to a V-Flex cleaner and give it a new lease on life. If you are in the market for a new one, check out my review of both cleaners:

Can I Use Clorox Bleach in my Pool?

Image
Regular Unscented Bleach I started doing pool service when I was 16 years old back in 1988. I took a break from the industry and did some Real Estate Investing and ran a small business for awhile. But I always loved working outdoors and so I decided to do pool service again. So I have about 15 years of practical experience in the field. My specialty has always been water chemistry as I was formally trained by an experts in the field. So I am well versed in most of the chemicals that are on the market today and I have used and tested a lot of different products. So when you hear those in the industry discourage and even slander anyone who uses bleach in their pool, you may think that it is not a product that you should use. In fact as you read this article you will find that using bleach and only bleach is a safe and smart choice. There is a lot of ignorance surrounding household bleach and the use of bleach in a swimming pool. Here is a video I made that goes in more detail on usin

Mr. Pen Non-contact Voltage Meter - Don't Get Electrocuted!

Image
One of the biggest issues you will run into with anything connected to an AC power is if that device or equipment is receiving power. In the pool service industry, this often is the case when you find that a pool pump won’t turn on. Or if a pool timer doesn't on, is it receiving power? Also for repairs with so many breakers being unmarked, how do you know you turned off the right breaker. Bottom line, a non-contact detector like the Mr. Pen is an easy way to see if power is going to the equipment/device and the line is active. A non-contact voltage detector is just that. You don’t need to make contact with the line like with a Multimeter. Plus you don’t need to adjust any settings or knobs to get a voltage reading. Simply hold the Mr. Pen over a cord or wire whip and if there is AC power a red light will turn on and an audible beep will come out of the device. A very easy way to tell if power or a current is present.  To order: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B092LFYTG5?&_encoding=UT
