Astralpool Xtreme 1 PPE motor for robotic pool cleaner (ref. 49796)

This is the genuine Astralpool PPE (pump/filtration) motor — item number 42 on the Xtreme 1 exploded-view diagram — designed specifically for the Astralpool Xtreme 1 electric robotic pool cleaner (model 49796). It powers the suction and water-circulation function of the robot, drawing pool water through the filter bag to capture debris from the floor and walls. Replacing this motor with a genuine Astralpool part restores full hydraulic performance to the robot.

Function and role in the robot

In the Xtreme 1 architecture, two distinct motor assemblies share responsibility: a traction motor drives the tracks, while the PPE motor generates the suction flow that pulls water and sediment through the filtration system. Without a correctly functioning PPE motor, water throughput drops, filtration efficiency is lost, and the robot may fail to pick up debris despite moving normally across the pool floor.

Compatible model

This motor is a dedicated spare part for the Astralpool Xtreme 1 robotic pool cleaner (factory reference 49796). It is not interchangeable with the PPE motor used on the Xtreme 2 (SA69019) or Xtreme 3 ranges, which carry different internal specifications. Always verify your robot’s model reference before ordering.

Symptoms that indicate replacement is needed

Common failure signs include a marked drop in suction power, the robot completing its cleaning cycle with significantly less debris collected than usual, an audible change in motor tone (grinding, intermittent running, or silence where the motor should be active), or the robot stalling mid-cycle due to thermal overload caused by a deteriorating motor winding. If the traction motor is confirmed working but filtration performance is poor, the PPE motor is the primary suspect.

Why fitting a genuine part matters

An authentic Astralpool PPE motor is wound, sealed, and pressure-rated to the exact hydraulic and electrical demands of the Xtreme 1 platform. Aftermarket alternatives may differ in shaft dimensions, winding resistance, or submersible-seal quality, risking premature failure, water ingress into the motor housing, or electrical faults that can damage the robot’s control transformer. A genuine replacement protects both the robot and its warranty status.
