It closes the pump strainer basket area so the pump can maintain suction, prime properly, and circulate water consistently. This kit installs on top of the pump strainer housing at the equipment pad.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy This Part Matters\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e A cracked lid or worn lock ring can let air into the pump, causing prime loss, low flow, and noisy operation. Suction air leaks also show up as bubbles under the lid and can create flow related issues across the equipment pad. Replacing the correct lid kit restores a stable seal and makes routine basket cleanings reliable again. It is commonly replaced when a lid warps from heat or gets overtightened over time.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features and Specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eManufacturer part number: SPX4000DLT\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eStrainer cover kit with lock ring for compatible Hayward pumps\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCloses the pump strainer basket and supports suction sealing\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eInstalls on the pump strainer housing at the equipment pad\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eReplacement for damaged lids or locking rings that will not seal\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation and Fitment Guidance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Turn off power before opening the strainer cover.
