Hayward SPX2300AA Pump Strainer Housing with Drain Plugs (MaxFlo XL / MaxFlo VS)
Hayward SPX2300AA is a genuine replacement pump strainer housing (pump body / wet-end housing) for select Hayward MaxFlo XL and MaxFlo VS pool pumps. This is the main strainer pot housing that the lid, basket, and internal pump components mount to. Replace it when the original housing is cracked, leaking, or has damaged/stripped ports.
Key Features
- Part Number: SPX2300AA
- Brand: Hayward
- Part Type: Pump housing / strainer housing (wet-end body)
- Pool Type: In-ground
- Includes drain plugs (as supplied)
- Restores proper sealing and structural integrity of the pump strainer body
- Genuine Hayward replacement for correct fit on compatible MaxFlo housings
Common Compatibility (Verify by Pump Model)
- Hayward MaxFlo XL pumps: SP2300X series
- Hayward MaxFlo VS pumps: SP2300VSP, SP2302VSP, SP2302VSPND

Common Reasons to Replace
- Housing crack or leak (often from freezing or impact)
- Stripped or damaged threads/ports from overtightened fittings
- Persistent seepage from hairline cracks in the strainer pot
- Warped sealing surfaces that prevent proper wet-end sealing
Installation Notes
- Turn off power at the breaker and drain the pump before disassembly.
- Replace wear items while the pump is open (shaft seal, housing O-rings/gaskets) to prevent future leaks.
- Use a plastic-safe thread sealant on threaded fittings and avoid overtightening.
- Prime the pump after reassembly and inspect closely for leaks at startup.

Maintenance Tips
- Winterize properly—freeze damage is a common cause of cracked pump housings.
- Keep the lid O-ring clean and lightly lubricated to reduce suction-side air leaks and prime loss.
- Address small seal leaks early to help prevent water damage to the motor.
- Don’t overtighten fittings—use proper sealant and support plumbing to reduce stress on the housing.
