Installation & Use Notes
Before installing, ensure the pump strainer housing rim and lid sealing surface are clean and free of debris. Seat the new O-ring properly in the groove, center the cover over the strainer housing, and tighten according to manufacturer torque. After re-assembly, prime the pump and check for leaks — a well-seated cover with intact O-ring helps maintain proper suction, avoid air leaks, and extend pump component life. Regular inspection and lubrication of the O-ring can prevent binding or difficult removal over time.
Why Choose SPX1500D2A
For pool owners using Hayward Power-Flo series pumps, replacing a cracked, leaking, or missing strainer cover with the correct OEM part ensures proper pump sealing, reliable water flow, and easier maintenance access. The transparent lid makes basket checks quicker and more convenient — a small upgrade that helps maintain peak performance and water clarity.
