Hayward SPX3000M Super II Pump Basket

What This Part Is Used For
The Hayward SPX3000M is a pump basket for Hayward Super II pumps. It sits inside the strainer housing and catches leaves and debris before they reach the impeller. Keeping the basket clean helps maintain steady circulation.

Why This Part Matters
A cracked or missing basket allows debris to reach the impeller and can cause clogs or damage. Reduced flow can lead to poor filtration and heater issues from low water movement. Replacing the basket protects the wet end and keeps maintenance simple.
