Ophjerg Drive Train Gear Kit for Polaris 360/380 & Vac-Sweep 360/380 — Turbine Gear with Bearing, Direct Fit Rebuild Parts

This Ophjerg 9-100-1132 drive train gear kit replaces the turbine and bearing assembly for Polaris 360, Polaris 380 and Vac‑Sweep 360/380 pool cleaners.

If your Polaris-style cleaner hesitates, stalls, or no longer climbs walls, a worn drive train gear set is a common cause. This kit supplies the key internal parts needed to rebuild the turbine assembly so the cleaner can regain reliable forward motion and consistent suction-driven performance. The set is engineered to match the original dimensions for an accurate fit and includes the bearing and retaining hardware required for a straightforward swap.

How will this kit affect cleaning performance?

Replacing damaged or worn turbine gears restores proper drive engagement and rotation speed, which helps the cleaner move smoothly across the pool floor and up the walls. Once reassembled, expect fewer stalls and more even coverage during each cycle.

• Replaces worn nylon gears that control drive motion.
• Includes turbine bearing to reduce friction and binding.
• Rebalances drive output so the cleaner maintains designed speed.
• Reduces grinding or clattering noises from a failing turbine.

Is this kit compatible with my Polaris or Vac‑Sweep model?

The Ophjerg 9-100-1132 kit is made to match the Polaris 360 and 380 automatic pool cleaners and also fits the Zodiac Polaris Vac‑Sweep 360 and 380 variants. It replicates the original part geometry for a snug replacement of the turbine drive components.

• Direct fit for Polaris 360 and Polaris 380 models.
• Compatible with Zodiac Polaris Vac‑Sweep 360 and Vac‑Sweep 380.
• Contains the same form-factor parts needed for turbine rebuilds.

What’s included and what tools are needed for installation?

The kit arrives with the essential drivetrain components so you won’t have to source extra parts. Installation is designed to be performed with basic tools and a few minutes of hands-on time for someone comfortable with small mechanical assemblies.

• Contents: turbine gear, bearing, and retaining clips/screws as required.
• Tools: Phillips and flat-head screwdrivers are typically sufficient.
• Time: most rebuilds take under 10 minutes for experienced users.
• Support: online teardown/rebuild videos can guide first-time installers.

How durable is the replacement gear kit?

These parts are molded from a durable nylon formulation chosen for wear resistance and dimensional stability in pool environments. Proper installation and routine pool maintenance will help the gears provide long, reliable service.

• Nylon construction resists abrasion and moisture exposure.
• Bearing reduces internal wear and keeps rotation smooth.
• Designed to restore OEM-style performance when installed correctly.

Who is this for: This Ophjerg drive train gear kit is intended for pool owners and technicians who operate Polaris 360/380 or Vac‑Sweep 360/380 automatic cleaners and need a direct-replacement turbine rebuild set. It’s a practical DIY option for anyone hearing grinding noises, noticing reduced wall-climbing ability, or experiencing frequent stalling; likewise it’s suitable for service shops performing routine refurbishments. If you prefer professional installation or have an older cleaner with additional damage, consult a pool service professional before purchase.
