A pool cleaner comprises a body, a diaphragm cassette unit arranged inside the body, and a retention mechanism mounted on the body. The body extends between a water connection end and foot end, a foot end opening being defined at the foot end. The diaphragm cassette unit is arranged inside the body and includes a cassette extending to the foot end and a flexible diaphragm inside the cassette also extending to the foot end. The retention mechanism is mounted on the body and is operable to allow removal and reinstallation of the diaphragm cassette unit through the foot end opening.

Pool cleaner with diaphragm cassette unit and retention mechanism

A pool cleaner includes a pool cleaner body and at least two wheels mounted to the pool cleaner body so as to be rotatable about a common wheel axis. An access cover selectively closing an access opening defined in the body. A handle closure is mounted to the body so as to be rotatable about the common wheel axis independently of the at least two wheels. The handle closure is rotatable relative to the body so as to be movable between a closed position, in which the handle closure secures the access cover over the access opening, and an open position. An inner cover can selectively cover a turbine and gears of the pool cleaner within the body, and is held in place via engagement with the access over. Wheel well sidewalls can be substantially solid to help further enclose an inner volume of the body.
