Hayward SPX2300DLS Deluxe Threaded Pump Strainer Cover – Super Pump/Multi-Speed Models
Part # SPX2300DLS — a deluxe replacement threaded strainer cover designed for select Hayward Super Pump and multi-speed pump models. This upgrade lid assembly provides a secure, leak-resistant seal while enabling easy inspection and maintenance of the strainer/basket housing.
Key Features
- Threaded lid design with integrated sealing for reliable, leak-free operation under suction pressure.
- Durable thermoplastic construction engineered to resist pool chemicals, UV exposure, and outdoor weathering.
- Easy access design — allows quick removal for basket cleaning or inspection without tools.
- Direct replacement for pump housings originally equipped with SPX2300DLS or compatible Hayward strainer lids.
- Optimized threading and gasket surface to maintain pump prime and prevent air ingress.
Typical Applications
Used when the original strainer lid is cracked, stripped, leaking, missing, or showing wear that disrupts proper sealing—especially on Super Pump or multi-speed pool pump installations. It is also a common upgrade during pump servicing or rebuilds to ensure long-term reliability.
Installation & Compatibility Notes
Before servicing, switch off the pool pump and relieve system suction. Remove the old lid and inspect the O-ring, sealing surface and threads. Clean all sealing faces thoroughly. Install the SPX2300DLS lid, carefully seat the gasket and thread the lid until snug — do not overtighten. Restore pump power and verify there are no leaks or air bubbles around the strainer housing.
Why Choose This Lid?
The SPX2300DLS lid offers OEM-quality sealing and long-term durability. Its precise threading and robust sealing design help maintain pump performance, prevent air intrusion, and reduce maintenance frequency — providing peace of mind for pool owners and service professionals alike.
Maintenance Tips
- Inspect the lid gasket annually for signs of compression, cracking or wear — replace if degraded.
- Lightly lubricate the O-ring with a pool-safe silicone lubricant when installing to ensure a smooth seal and extend gasket life.
- Avoid over-tightening the lid — hand-tight, evenly seated is sufficient for a proper seal without stressing the threads.
- Periodically check for leaks, air ingestion, or water flow loss after heavy usage or winterizing cycles.
