Quick overview

  • Genuine Hayward part Factory part number RCX26012, supplied as a complete assembly.
  • Complete assembly Comes as the roller assembly rather than as a bare foam sleeve.
  • Foam surface Foam grips the pool surface and lifts fine dirt that the brushes alone leave behind.
  • Restores traction A hardened or worn roller slips on wet tile and plaster, which is what makes a cleaner spin in place or stall on the climb.
  • Wear item Rollers are consumables on a robotic cleaner and are expected to be renewed as they harden and lose grip.
  • Check the pair If one roller is worn the other usually is too, so inspect both ends before you order.

Product details

The Hayward RCX26012 is the foam roller assembly for robotic pool cleaners, supplied complete rather than as a bare sleeve. It is the genuine Hayward part.

What the foam does

A robotic cleaner earns its traction and part of its scrubbing action through the rollers. Foam presses against plaster, tile or vinyl and lifts the fine film that a stiff brush skates over, while the same contact gives the drive something to push against. As foam ages it hardens, compresses and eventually tears, and both jobs suffer at once.

What a worn roller looks like

Look for foam that is glazed and stiff, flattened on one face, split along its length, or worn down toward the core. The tell in the water is a cleaner that spins on the spot, slides back down the wall, or leaves a visible haze on surfaces it has just passed over. Since most cleaners carry a roller at each end, check both before ordering.

Questions and answers

What people ask about this product, answered by our pool techs.

Is this the whole roller or just the foam?
It is the complete foam roller assembly, part number RCX26012.
How do I know my roller needs replacing?
Foam that has gone hard, flattened on one side, torn, or worn down to the core has stopped gripping. A cleaner that slips, turns without moving, or fails to climb is usually running on tired rollers.
Is this a genuine Hayward part?
Yes. RCX26012 is the Hayward OEM foam roller assembly.
Will one assembly do the whole cleaner?
Check your cleaner. Most carry a roller at each end, and replacing only one leaves the drive uneven, so many owners fit them in pairs.
