Hayward SPX1097D Cycolac Face Plate

What This Part Is Used For
The Hayward SPX1097D Cycolac Face Plate is a replacement faceplate used on compatible Hayward skimmer assemblies. It mounts at the skimmer opening and helps secure the skimmer interface at the pool wall.

Why This Part Matters
A cracked or warped faceplate can compromise sealing and lead to seepage around the skimmer opening. Even small leaks can damage the wall area or allow water behind a liner. Replacing the face plate restores proper compression and a clean skimmer opening.

About the Hayward Brand
Hayward manufactures pool equipment across pumps, filters, heaters, automation, cleaners, chlorination, and service parts. Their skimmers integrate with circulation systems to keep surface debris moving into the filter path. Genuine Hayward skimmer components maintain proper fit and sealing at the pool wall. This helps prevent nuisance leaks.

Common Service Context
Technicians typically replace face plates during liner replacement or when cracks appear from age and over-tightening. It is often identified when seepage shows up around the skimmer opening or when the faceplate no longer sits flat.
