Hayward SPX1500W Strainer O-Ring

What This Part Is Used For
The Hayward SPX1500W is a strainer O-ring used to seal the pump lid to the strainer housing. It sits between the cover and housing to prevent air and water leaks. This gasket supports proper suction performance.

Why This Part Matters
A flattened or cracked O-ring can allow air to enter the system and cause loss of prime. Suction leaks reduce circulation efficiency and can damage the pump. Replacing the O-ring restores a tight, reliable seal.
