Hayward SPX1250RA Strainer Basket Assembly (Pump Basket)
Hayward SPX1250RA is a genuine replacement strainer basket (pump trap basket) that sits inside the pump strainer housing to catch leaves and debris before they reach the impeller. Replacing a cracked, broken, or deformed basket helps protect the pump, maintain proper water flow, and makes routine cleaning easier.

Maintenance Tips
- Empty the basket frequently during heavy leaf seasons to reduce restriction and motor strain.
- Rinse the basket clean so fine debris doesn’t compact and reduce flow.
- Check the basket rim for cracks—small breaks can let debris reach the impeller.
- Keep the lid O-ring clean and lightly lubricated to help prevent suction-side air leaks.
