It sits in the lid groove and keeps the suction side airtight so the pump can prime and run steadily. This is a routine maintenance seal. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy This Part Matters\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e A flattened or cracked O-ring lets air into the pump and causes bubbles in the pump basket. That can lead to poor priming, weak flow, and noisy operation. Replacing the O-ring restores suction integrity and stabilizes circulation. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features and Specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eManufacturer part number SPX2700Z4\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eStrainer cover O-ring\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSeals pump lid to strainer housing\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHelps prevent suction-side air leaks\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFor compatible Hayward pump models\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation and Fitment Guidance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Clean the lid groove and sealing surface before installing the new O-ring.

It is also common at spring start-up after seals dry out over winter. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hayward","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52050171494674,"sku":"SPX2700Z4","price":15.22,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0733\/2279\/1186\/files\/HPPSPX2700Z4_0.jpg?v=1771892271","url":"https:\/\/www.aquaterrabackyard.com\/products\/hayward-spx2700z4-strainer-cover-o-ring","provider":"Aqua Terra Backyard","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
