Hayward PoolCleaner 2-Wheel Head Unit Replacement – PBS20JSTHBX
When a suction-side pool cleaner starts slowing down, losing traction, or missing sections of the pool, the issue is often not the hose or pump—it’s the cleaner head itself. The Hayward PoolCleaner 2-Wheel Head Unit Replacement (PBS20JSTHBX) is a genuine OEM replacement designed to fully restore the cleaning performance of Hayward’s 2-wheel PoolCleaner models.
This complete head unit replacement is ideal when internal wear, body damage, or drivetrain issues make individual part replacement impractical. By swapping the entire head assembly, you bring your cleaner back to factory-level performance without the cost of buying a whole new cleaner.
Restores Suction Power and Cleaning Coverage
Over time, internal components inside the cleaner head—such as turbines, bearings, and drive interfaces—wear down. This leads to:
-
Weak or inconsistent movement
-
Reduced debris pickup
-
Poor wall and floor coverage
-
Increased stalling or spinning
Installing the PBS20JSTHBX head unit restores proper hydraulic efficiency and mechanical movement, allowing the cleaner to navigate the pool as designed.
Complete Head Assembly for Reliable Repair
Rather than chasing multiple worn internal parts, this replacement provides a complete head unit, eliminating guesswork and saving time during repairs. It’s especially useful when:
-
The cleaner body is cracked or worn
-
Internal components are damaged
-
Performance issues persist after basic maintenance
A full head replacement is often the fastest and most reliable way to extend the life of your Hayward PoolCleaner.
