Technical Specifications
- Part Number: SPX3000D
- Application: Lid / strainer cover replacement for Super II pump series
- Material: Clear, durable thermoplastic (Lexan-style), with hand knob
- Style: Hand-knob type (non-threaded) – confirm version matches your existing cover
Compatibility & Fitment
This cover fits select Hayward Super II pumps (SP3000 and SP3000X series). Before ordering, confirm your pump model and check whether your existing cover has the hand-knob style (as opposed to threaded) to ensure correct fit.
Installation Instructions
- Turn off the pump and relieve system pressure before servicing.
- Remove the existing strainer cover and clean the sealing surface thoroughly.
- Install the new SPX3000D cover, ensuring the gasket is seated properly and the cover spins flush.
- Tighten the hand-knob until snug; do not over-tighten as it may damage the threads or seal.
- Restore system operation and inspect for proper priming and absence of leaks or air bubbles.
Troubleshooting
- Leak at lid seam: Confirm gasket is in place, seating surface clean, and lid is evenly tightened.
- Air bubbles visible in the pump basket: Check for cracked cover, missing gasket or improper seating of the new cover.
- Cover doesn’t align or spin freely: Ensure your pump model uses the hand-knob style cover and that the thread or mounting ring isn’t damaged.
Maintenance Tip
Inspect the strainer cover each service interval. If the cover is scratched, cloudy, cracked or no longer seats properly, replacing it with the SPX3000D can restore visibility and seal integrity, improving pump performance and reliability.
