Has anybody got a recommendation for a sturdy vacuum head that does a good job picking up dirt and debris. We have been using the Pentair Pro-Vac and like the way it handles. BUT we are constantly replacing the wheels because the bearings come out. We're tired of messing with them. Thanks.

What kind of use are these vacuums being but through. Are they on very heavy Maintenance Routes, or are they being used on concrete type bottoms?
I have had a couple for many years and never gone through a punch of wheels, or bearings.
You could always switch to something like the Hammerhead (www.hammerheadvac.com), or a Brass Vacuum Head(this one will take some looking for).
