Hayward SPX3000D Strainer Cover

What This Part Is Used For
The Hayward SPX3000D is a strainer cover used on compatible Hayward pumps. It closes the strainer housing so the pump can hold prime and allows access to the basket for routine cleanings. This lid sits at the front of the pump on the suction side.

Why This Part Matters
A cracked lid or damaged sealing surface can pull air and cause the pump to lose prime. That leads to weak flow, noisy operation, and inconsistent filtration. Replacing the strainer cover restores an airtight seal and steady circulation.
