Hayward SPX3200S Strainer Cover O-Ring - For TriStar and EcoStar

What This Part Is Used For
The Hayward SPX3200S is a strainer cover O-ring for compatible TriStar and EcoStar pumps. It seals the pump lid to the strainer housing to maintain suction. This O-ring is located directly under the pump lid.

Why This Part Matters
A worn lid O-ring can allow air to enter the pump, causing priming issues and reduced flow. Air leaks at the lid are a common cause of noisy pumps and low filter pressure. Replacing the O-ring restores a tight seal and consistent operation.
