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.


Designed for Hayward 2-Wheel PoolCleaner Models

This OEM replacement head is engineered specifically for Hayward PoolCleaner 2-wheel suction cleaners, ensuring proper fit, alignment, and performance.

Because it’s a genuine Hayward part, it maintains:

  • Correct hydraulic flow

  • Proper wheel spacing and traction

  • Original cleaning pattern behavior

No modifications or aftermarket adjustments are required.


Genuine Hayward OEM Quality

As an original Hayward replacement component, the PBS20JSTHBX is manufactured to exact factory specifications. It’s built from pool-grade materials designed to withstand:

  • Continuous water exposure

  • Chlorine and pool chemicals

  • Abrasive pool surfaces

This ensures long-term durability and dependable operation once installed.


Straightforward Installation

Replacing the head unit is a simple process for most pool owners or service technicians. The assembly installs directly onto the existing hose and connection points, allowing the cleaner to be put back into service quickly.

This makes it a practical repair option for both DIY pool owners and professional service routes.
