Restore the Power of Your Hayward PoolCleaner

Keep your pool spotless and your cleaner performing like new with the Hayward PoolCleaner 2-Wheel Head Unit Replacement (PBS20JSTHBX). Designed as a genuine OEM replacement for the industry-leading Hayward 2-Wheel PoolCleaner, this head unit is the core component that restores full suction power, steering, and cleaning efficiency to your automatic pool vacuum. If your cleaner head is worn, cracked, or malfunctioning, this replacement gives you a cost-effective way to bring it back to life without buying a brand-new unit.


Why Replace the Head Unit?

Over time, heavy use, UV exposure, and constant water pressure can wear down the internal gears and housing of your pool cleaner. A weakened or broken head unit can cause poor suction, erratic movement, or reduced cleaning coverage. By replacing the head unit, you restore your cleaner’s factory-fresh performance while extending its overall lifespan.


Key Benefits of the PBS20JSTHBX Replacement

  • OEM Quality Assurance – Manufactured by Hayward, this part guarantees precise compatibility with the Hayward 2-Wheel PoolCleaner.

  • Cost-Effective Repair – Avoid replacing the entire cleaner; swap the head unit and restore performance for a fraction of the cost.

  • Enhanced Cleaning Efficiency – Regains consistent suction and proper navigation across all pool surfaces, including gunite, vinyl, and fiberglass.

  • Quick & Easy Installation – Designed for straightforward replacement with minimal tools, getting your cleaner back in service quickly.

  • Durable Construction – Made from high-strength materials built to withstand years of exposure to pool chemicals and UV rays.


Compatibility

  • Fits Hayward PoolCleaner 2-Wheel suction cleaners

  • Works with in-ground pools of various surface types

  • Genuine Hayward part number: PBS20JSTHBX

If you own the Hayward 2-Wheel PoolCleaner and the head unit is failing, this replacement is the exact component you need. For 4-wheel models, use the appropriate Hayward 4-Wheel Head Unit.
