Hayward SPX1600S Cover Gasket – Super Pump Series

Part # SPX1600S — a genuine Hayward strainer cover gasket designed for select Super Pump and AT-Series pool pumps. This gasket ensures a reliable, watertight seal between the pump housing and the strainer lid, helping maintain prime and prevent air or water leaks.

Key Features

OEM gasket engineered for Hayward Super Pump series and AT-Series pump strainer covers.
Exactly molded gasket material for premium sealing between pump housing and lid.
Dimensions approximately 5-¾″ × 7-¼″ to fit specified pump models.
Prevents loss of prime, air ingestion and leakage around the strainer lid area.
Simple, drop-in replacement — no modification required.

Typical Applications

Used during pump service or maintenance when the strainer cover gasket is worn, flattened, cracked or leaking. Ideal for residential and commercial pools using compatible pump models where maintaining seal integrity is critical to performance.

Installation & Compatibility Notes

Before installation, shut off pump power and relieve system pressure. Remove the pump strainer lid and extract the old gasket. Clean the sealing surface on the lid and housing to remove debris or residue. Place the new SPX1600S gasket in the groove, apply a thin layer of silicone-based lubricant if recommended, replace the lid, hand-tighten evenly, and restore power. Start the pump and verify there are no leaks or air bubbles at the strainer cover.

Why Choose This Gasket?

Using the genuine Hayward SPX1600S gasket ensures correct fit and sealing performance as originally designed for Super Pump systems. Installing the proper gasket helps prevent air intrusion, maintain proper water flow and optimize pump efficiency — reducing service calls and downtime.

Maintenance Tips

Inspect the gasket annually for signs of hardening, cracking, compression set or chemical damage.
When the pump is reopened for service or winterizing, replace the gasket to ensure ongoing reliability.
Apply a pool-safe silicone lubricant to the gasket just prior to installation to enhance seating and life.
Avoid overtightening the lid clamps after installation, as this can distort the gasket and reduce sealing effectiveness.
