The hoses are usually fine. This OEM replacement head assembly lets you fix the part that failed and keep the rest of your setup, instead of buying an entire new cleaner. It fits Hayward Poolvergnuegen The PoolCleaner 4-wheel models PBS40JST and W3PVS40JST, arrives ready to connect, and uses genuine Hayward components throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat This Fixes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCleaner will not move or climb:\u003c\/strong\u003e Worn internal drive components and steering gears are replaced wholesale with a fresh assembly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeak or inconsistent suction:\u003c\/strong\u003e New self-adjusting turbine vanes restore proper flow response, including on variable-speed pumps.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCracked or damaged body:\u003c\/strong\u003e A split housing cannot be patched reliably.

Is the head the problem?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsually yes, though check suction first. If the pump and filter are clean and the hoses are not leaking air, weak climbing normally points to worn drive components inside the head.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow long does the swap take?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost people manage it in a few minutes. Disconnect the hose from the old head, connect it to the new one, and put the cleaner back in the pool. No tools required for the hose connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCan I keep my old hoses?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, and most people do. The hose connection is identical. Only replace hoses if they are cracked, kinked or have lost sections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow do I confirm I have the 4-wheel model?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLook at the sides. Two wheels per side means 4-wheel and this is the right head. One wheel per side means 2-wheel, and you want the PBS20JSTHBX 2 Wheel Headbox.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eIs it worth replacing the head instead of the whole cleaner?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf the hoses are still good, yes. The head is where the wear happens. Replacing it restores the cleaner to full function at a fraction of the cost of a complete unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWill this work with a variable speed pump?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The self-adjusting turbine vanes respond to changing flow, which is what allows the cleaner to keep working at lower pump speeds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hayward","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52247434887456,"sku":"PBS40JSTUHB","price":384.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0922\/3326\/9536\/files\/Hayward4WheelPoolCleanerReplacementHeadOnlyPBS40JSTUHBMainImage.jpg?v=1787692560","url":"https:\/\/discountpoolmart.com\/products\/hayward-4-wheel-pool-cleaner-replacement-head-only-pbs40jstuhb","provider":"Discount Pool Mart","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
