Zodiac – Turbine bearing – R06217

The Zodiac Turbine Bearing (R06217) is a genuine OEM replacement spare part designed for use with Zodiac automatic pool cleaners, specifically the CAE 510 and CAE 513 models. The turbine bearing is a small but critical internal component that supports the turbine shaft, allowing it to rotate freely and efficiently as water flows through the cleaner. Over time, continuous operation in chemically treated pool water can cause wear to this bearing, leading to increased friction, reduced turbine performance, and ultimately a decline in the cleaner’s cleaning effectiveness. Replacing a worn turbine bearing with this genuine Zodiac part restores the cleaner to its original operating condition.

Technical characteristics and compatibility

This bearing is manufactured to Zodiac’s precise engineering tolerances, ensuring a correct and secure fit within the turbine assembly of the CAE 510 and CAE 513 pool cleaner models. Using a genuine replacement bearing rather than an aftermarket alternative guarantees dimensional accuracy, material quality, and long-term durability suited to the demanding pool environment. The bearing is designed to withstand exposure to chlorinated and treated water, maintaining smooth rotation of the turbine under normal operating conditions. Installation requires basic disassembly of the cleaner’s turbine housing, making this a practical DIY replacement for pool owners comfortable with routine maintenance tasks.

Suitability and buying context

This replacement turbine bearing is intended exclusively for Zodiac CAE 510 and CAE 513 automatic pool cleaners. If you own one of these models and notice reduced suction power, unusual noise from the turbine, or degraded cleaning performance, a worn turbine bearing is a likely cause. Replacing this component is significantly more cost-effective than replacing the entire cleaner unit. This part is suitable for use in both domestic and light commercial pool installations where the above Zodiac cleaner models are deployed. Always verify your cleaner’s model number before ordering to ensure compatibility.
