Hayward SPX2800M MaxFlo / UltraMax Pump Strainer Basket

- Effectively traps debris to protect the impeller and prevent clogs, prolonging pump life and improving reliability.

Why It Matters
Debris such as leaves, sticks, or large particles can damage the impeller or clog the pump, reducing flow and potentially causing costly repairs. Installing a proper strainer basket like the SPX2800M prevents that debris from entering the pump — helping maintain efficient filtration, protecting pump internals, and prolonging overall system lifespan.
Maintenance & Installation Tips
- Install the basket directly into the pump’s strainer housing, ensuring it seats properly before sealing the lid.
- Remove and rinse the basket regularly — frequency depends on pool environment (e.g., weekly in leaf-heavy seasons, monthly in dry periods).
- Inspect for cracks or damage during each cleaning and replace if any wear is found to maintain proper debris protection.
