FAQs

This part is identified as EA20 and A20, and is described as a White Ballast Float / Head Float. Match both the part number and the float location on your equipment before ordering.
A ballast or head float helps maintain the proper buoyancy and balance of the cleaner head or connected assembly in the water. When the float is working correctly, the unit stays at the intended angle and moves more consistently instead of dragging, tipping, or floating incorrectly.
Typical symptoms include the cleaner head sitting too low or too high in the water, unstable movement, poor tracking, frequent tipping, or visible cracking, water intrusion, or loss of buoyancy in the float itself. If the float feels waterlogged or no longer supports the head properly, replacement is usually needed.
In most cases, replacing a float is a straightforward maintenance task. It usually involves removing the old float from the cleaner head or float mount and installing the new one in the same position. Basic hand tools may be needed depending on the model, and the job often takes only a few minutes once the unit is out of the water and clean.
Before installation, inspect the cleaner head, mounting points, hose connections, and nearby wear items for cracks, looseness, or missing hardware. Also check for debris buildup or damage that could affect the cleaner's balance. Installing a new float will work best when the surrounding parts are in good condition.
Floats commonly fail from age, sun exposure, chemical exposure, physical impact, or small cracks that allow water to enter the body of the float. Over time, this reduces buoyancy and changes how the cleaner rides in the water.
