Zodiac – Small rear wheel (light blue) – R0636101

The Zodiac R0636101 is an original replacement small rear wheel in light blue for Zodiac automatic pool cleaners. This component forms part of the drive and mobility system of the robotic cleaner, allowing it to navigate the pool floor efficiently and with consistent traction. As a genuine Zodiac spare part, it is manufactured to the exact tolerances and material specifications of the original component, ensuring a seamless fit and reliable operation after replacement.

Each wheel is designed to withstand continuous immersion in chlorinated or salt-treated pool water without degrading, cracking, or discolouring prematurely. The light blue colour coding (PMS 2915) assists with correct part identification during servicing. The recommended replacement quantity for a complete unit service is two wheels, as the cleaner uses a matching pair at the rear. Replacing worn or damaged wheels promptly restores the cleaner’s mobility, grip, and cleaning pattern coverage across the pool floor.

Technical details and compatibility

This wheel is a direct-fit OEM spare part carrying part number R0636101. It is specifically compatible with the Zodiac OV 3510 (Vortex) and Zodiac Vortex 4+ automatic pool cleaner models. The Vortex series is a suction-side pool cleaner that attaches to the pool’s existing filtration system, and its performance is directly dependent on the mechanical integrity of its drive wheels. A worn or cracked rear wheel can cause the unit to move erratically, miss sections of the pool floor, or become stuck against walls and steps.

The wheel is constructed from a durable polymer material suited to long-term use in pool environments. Its dimensions match the original factory-fitted wheels exactly, requiring no modification for installation. Fitting is straightforward and does not require specialist tools — the wheel clicks or fastens directly onto the rear axle assembly of the cleaner.

Suitability and buying guidance

This replacement wheel is intended for owners of Zodiac OV 3510 and Vortex 4+ suction-side automatic pool cleaners who are experiencing reduced mobility, uneven movement, or visible wear on the existing rear wheels. It is equally suited for pool service technicians carrying out routine maintenance or reconditioning of these models. Because the recommended replacement quantity is two pieces per complete service, purchasing a pair ensures balanced performance from both rear drive points. This is an official Zodiac spare part, making it the recommended choice over aftermarket alternatives for maintaining the cleaner’s original performance and protecting any remaining warranty.
