Is My Pool Sweep Cannibalizing Itself?

[FatherOHenry]

I found this when emptying the bag for the Polaris 280.

It looks like part of a wheel bearing assembly or some such thing I've seen when disassembling the unit in the past.

I've no idea how it could've come out. It's one solid piece. The sweep and all its wheels appear to be functioning normally.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Yep, that's a ball bearing spacer from one of the wheels. You'll have to take the wheels off to see where it came from.

I was afraid of that. I imagine I'll figure out how it came free when I take it apart, maybe find out it's time for a complete rebuild.

Thanks for the link!
