It is also common when a customer reports a slow drip under the pump that traces back to the drain port. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hayward","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52050167595282,"sku":"SPX1700FGV","price":6.12,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0733\/2279\/1186\/files\/HPPSPX1700FGV_0.jpg?v=1771892176","url":"https:\/\/www.aquaterrabackyard.com\/products\/hayward-spx1700fgv-pipe-plug-with-gasket","provider":"Aqua Terra Backyard","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
