1st Customer Review : Great Price, Great Service - but read review before buying
It seems like my Hayward Phantom goes bad on me about once every year. It starts going in circles because the spin-out feature gets stuck. I try all the flushing out like Hayward recommends, but it only has limited results. Anyway, I decided to try to replace the parts myself, so I started w/ this part, got a great price and purchased it.
I replaced the gear box, but to my disappointment it worked for 2 days then started spinning again. I finally did some research on Hayward's Q & A and found out that the real problem may be more in the manifold than the gear box. Then I dissected the old manifold, and w/o getting in to a bunch of engineering drivel (of which I know nothing about) THAT is where the real issues are. I went and purchased one and viola' it was fixed!
So, while this was a great price and I have nothing but good things to say about the merchant, this may not be the part you need to fix the spin out issue.

2nd Customer Review : The key to keeping a Phantom running right
This is the second time I've replaced this part in my Phantom. I have rock around the pool, and lots of sand gets in the water. The water jet action through this part is probably allowing the sand to erode the seal on the little ball valve, and when it gets bad enough, the cleaner won't work right because water shoots out the front 'turn around' jet all the time.
If you're just a little bit handy, you should have no problem replacing the gearbox. (Of course, I open mine up and do something to it to keep it running about a dozen times a year, so it's all routine to me now.) There are instructions included, but you don't really need them. Just note where the three hoses go, and replace it just like the original. You can save a little effort if you wish by disconnecting the new hoses and just attaching the old ones to the new gearbox.
3rd Customer Review : Replacement Gearbox for Hayward Phantom
Our 5 1/2 year old Phantom started doing the "spin of death" earlier this year. A second symptom was water spurting from behind the ball in the check valve under the cam cap. This replacement gearbox solved the problem. I did not use the new hoses that came with the product, but instead to save time I just reused the old hoses, cinching them with the new ties to the new gearbox. Instructions that are supplied are detailed and helpful, making the changeout pretty straightforward. The Phantom is back doing its job.
