Manual pool cleaner spare parts

This measurement determines the fitting, brush, and deflector, so it's best to confirm it before ordering:

• Measure the inner diameter of your hose: 1½" is about 38 mm; 2" is about 50 mm
• Check the connection port on the pool cleaner, where the hose fits in
• Rule of thumb: for family-sized pools, 1½" is standard; 2" is typically used for high-flow systems and large pools

Watch out for a common mistake: the size of the pool cleaner must match that of your hose and your suction inlet. Installing a 2" pool cleaner in a 1 1/2" system does not provide more suction—it only requires adapters that reduce flow.

If you’re unsure, send a photo of the pool cleaner and the hose opening via the contact form, and we’ll confirm the size for you.

It's the wheels. When they wear out, break, or lose their pins, the body of the pool cleaner rests directly on the pool lining—and that's when the scratches start, which are especially severe on liner and polyester surfaces.

The solution is the set of 4 wheels with pins (€9.75):

• Always replace all four, even if only one is broken: the others are equally worn, and the unit must roll evenly
• They can be replaced without tools: remove the pin, replace the wheel, and reinsert the pin
• While you’re at it, check that the pins fit snugly; if they’re worn out, you can buy replacement sets for €4.25

Don’t put it off: repairing a scratch on the coating costs much more than €9.75.

Before blaming the pool cleaner, rule out external factors:

• Air in the hose: if you didn’t bleed the air out before connecting it, there’s no suction. Submerge the entire hose until air stops coming out
• Skimmer basket and pump prefilter are full
• Dirty filter: check the pressure gauge. High pressure = time to backwash
• Improperly positioned valves: if you’re using the skimmer for suction, close or reduce the other intakes to concentrate the suction

If everything above is fine, the culprit is the deflector: this is the part that directs the suction toward the inlet, and if it’s broken or misaligned, it lets the suction escape. It costs €2.70 for the 1" 1/2 size and €4.01 for the 2" size —the cheapest and most effective repair on the entire list.

And one last check: make sure the hose has no cracks. A small puncture halfway along the hose lets air in and eliminates suction.

When the bristles are flattened or worn down and the pool cleaner starts leaving dirt stuck to the bottom instead of loosening it. The brush is what loosens the adhered sediment so the suction can carry it away; without it, you only pick up what’s already loose.

Clear signs:

• Bristles that are permanently flattened or visibly uneven in length
• Traces of dirt that remain after running the pool cleaner
• The unit slides instead of gripping

Choose the right size for you: 1½" brush (€29.81) or 2" brush (€24.74).

Tip for longevity: The brush suffers more from being dragged across the pool deck out of the water than from its work in the pool. Store it hanging or resting on its body, never on the bristles.

Yes, and this is one of the most common questions—the pins are small parts that end up at the bottom of the pool or on the lawn:

• Hairpin clips (€4.25, 4 pieces): the ones that secure the hairpin to the hair
• Pins and tabs (€6.20, 2 pieces): pins with their anchoring tabs
• Wheel pins are included in the wheel set

Helpful tip: Given how inexpensive they are, keep a spare set in the pool house. This is the kind of breakdown that always happens on a Sunday afternoon, when the pool is full of guests and the stores are closed.

And when assembling: make sure the pin is securely in place before putting the pool cleaner in the water. The ones that get lost are almost always the ones that weren’t fully inserted.

This is the U-shaped connector with wing nuts (€11.89): the U-shaped part that connects the pool cleaner to the telescoping handle, secured with hand-tightened screws.

Before replacing it, check:

• The wing nuts are tight (tightened by hand, without a tool)
• The fork’s pins are in place—if one is missing, the fork will wobble even if it’s intact
• The end of the handle isn’t bent or broken: in that case, the part that needs replacing is the handle, not the fork. See the catalog for pool cleaner handles

If the fork is cracked or the wing nuts are stripped, replace it: a pool cleaner that comes loose halfway through the job ends up at the bottom of the pool, and retrieving it with the handle is more of a workout than you were looking for.

These are genuine Astralpool replacement parts for your manual pool cleaners. As with all pool accessories, compatibility depends on the model—and here’s a useful note:

• Parts with greater flexibility: fittings and deflectors are primarily sized by diameter (1½" or 2"), which broadens your options
• Parts with specific geometries—such as wheels, brushes, forks, and side pads—fit based on the body’s design, so the model is the deciding factor

The surefire way to get it right: compare the old part with the photo on the product page and check the listed models. If your pool cleaner is from another brand, send a photo of the entire unit and the broken part via the contact form —many manual cleaning parts have equivalents.

And if you’re looking for a complete manual pool cleaner or cleaning accessories, check out the catalog under manual pool vacuums and pool cleaner accessories.

It’s worth repairing in almost all cases, and the math is simple: the parts that break cost between €2.70 and €30, while a new manual pool cleaner with its fork and brush costs considerably more.

• Don’t hesitate to repair: wheels, pins, deflector, fitting, and fork. All for under €12, and they can be replaced in minutes without tools.
• Do the math if you need a brush and side pads at the same time (about €50) for a unit that’s several years old: that’s when replacing the unit starts to make sense.
• Replace it if the body is cracked or warped, because that’s the part that can’t be replaced.

A note to put things in perspective: if you’re tired of running the manual pool cleaner every week, the alternative isn’t another manual pool cleaner but an automatic one. Even so, it’s a good idea to keep the manual cleaner in good condition: for spot cleaning a corner or after a storm has blown leaves into the pool, it’s still the fastest tool.
