Hayward SPX3200A – Strainer Housing for TriStar / EcoStar Pumps
The Hayward SPX3200A is the OEM strainer housing body designed for many Hayward in-ground pool pumps, including the TriStar and EcoStar series. This housing serves as the front “wet end,” forming the strainer basket chamber and connecting to the pump’s plumbing — making it a critical part if the original housing is cracked, leaking, or damaged.
Key Features
- OEM replacement housing for TriStar (SP3200EE / SP3200X / SP3600 series) and EcoStar (SP3400VSP) pumps.
- Includes threaded inlet and outlet ports (typically 2″ or 2½″ depending on model) for direct plumbing connections.
- Comes with integrated drain plugs — simplifies draining, winterizing, or maintenance of the pump housing.
- Constructed from heavy-duty, chemical-resistant thermoplastic material — built to withstand pool water, chemicals, salt systems, and UV exposure.
- Restores proper sealing, suction, and hydraulic flow when replacing a worn or cracked housing.*

When & Why to Use or Replace
Use the SPX3200A housing when the existing pump housing is cracked, leaking, or deteriorated — common issues after years of chemical exposure, heat, freeze-thaw cycles, or impact. Replacing the housing with a genuine OEM unit restores proper strainer chamber integrity, prevents leaks or air intrusion, and helps maintain prime and flow efficiency.
Installation & Maintenance Tips
- Turn off power and drain water before disassembling the pump.
- Remove the old housing and examine internal components (impeller, shaft seal, O-rings) — replace any worn or damaged parts while you’re servicing the housing.
- Install the new housing, ensure proper alignment of inlet/outlet ports, and tighten plumbing unions or fittings per manufacturer instructions.
- Before final re-assembly, inspect and lubricate O-ring seals (if applicable) to ensure a tight seal.
- After re-installation, prime the pump and test for leaks or air entry before normal operation.
Why Stock SPX3200A
Because strainer housings are frequent failure points — especially in older or heavily used pumps — carrying SPX3200A allows pool professionals and do-it-yourselfers to restore pump function without replacing entire units. It’s a high-value replacement part that extends pump lifespan, helps avoid costly full-pump replacements, and maintains reliable circulation performance.
