Pentair Rainbow #175 Ball Bearing Vacuum Wheels (4-Pack) | R201558
The Pentair Rainbow R201558 is a replacement wheel and ball-bearing race assembly set (commonly referenced as #175 wheels) for select Pentair/Rainbow ProVac and Super ProVac manual vacuum heads. These wheels help your vacuum head roll smoothly across the pool surface and maintain consistent contact for better debris pickup. Replacing worn or seized wheels restores maneuverability and helps prevent “dragging” that can leave dirt trails behind.
Key Features
- Ball-bearing wheel design for smoother rolling and easier steering.
- Durable materials (polyurethane wheel with a Delrin inner race and stainless steel balls).
- Helps reduce friction versus worn/flat-spotted wheels that bind or skid.
- 4-pack (commonly packaged as a bubble pack/card of four wheels).
Compatibility
- Pentair/Rainbow ProVac flexible vacuum heads: 214, 222, 229
- Pentair/Rainbow Super ProVac: 241
- Also used on other compatible Pentair/Rainbow manual vac heads that specify #175 ball bearing wheels.

When to Replace
- Vacuum head is hard to push, “chatters,” or drags instead of rolling smoothly
- Wheels wobble, bind, or feel gritty when spun by hand
- Flat spots, cracks, or excessive wear on the wheel tread
- Vacuum head no longer tracks straight due to uneven wheel wear
Installation Notes
- Turn off the pump and remove the vacuum head from the pool.
- Inspect the wheel axles and mounting points for wear or corrosion before installing new wheels.
- Replace wheels as a set when possible to keep rolling height and tracking consistent.
- After installation, spin each wheel by hand to confirm free movement and proper seating.

Maintenance Tips
- Rinse the vacuum head and wheels after use to remove grit that can shorten bearing life.
- Avoid storing the head with weight on one wheel to reduce flat spotting over time.
- If wheels start to feel rough or stick, replace them before they wear the axle/mounting points.
