Hayward SX200Z14 O-Ring

What This Part Is Used For
The Hayward SX200Z14 is an O-ring used on compatible Hayward sand filter components. It seals a specific joint or fitting so the filter assembly remains watertight under pressure. This is a service replacement seal used during filter maintenance.

Why This Part Matters
A worn O-ring is a common cause of slow leaks that show up after the filter is opened for service or after winterizing. A poor seal can also draw air into the system and cause unstable circulation symptoms. Replacing the correct O-ring restores sealing without forcing clamps or fittings too tight. It is often the difference between a clean, dry pad and an ongoing drip.
