Product details

Pentair R201498 is the number 203 replacement kit, the wheels and axles for the 250 and 252 swivel wheel flexible vacuum heads. It is the genuine Pentair part.

What wears out

A manual vacuum head lives on the pool floor and gets dragged across it on every clean. The wheels take grit into the axles, stiffen up, and eventually stop turning. The head then skids instead of rolling, which makes it heavy on the pole and leaves marks on plaster or, on a vinyl pool, risks cutting the liner.

Rebuilding the head

Replacing the running gear is a much smaller job than buying a new head. Fit the kit, check that each wheel spins freely before you put the head back in the water, and the vacuum will track straight again.
