About This Item

The Hayward Strainer Cover O-Ring (SPX5500H) is the OEM replacement sealing O-ring for the strainer cover on Hayward PowerFlo Matrix above-ground pumps.

IMPORTANT: LUBRICATION REQUIRED — SOLD SEPARATELY
Always lubricate this O-ring with a silicone-based lubricant before installation. Browse our Pool Plumbing Lubricants for a compatible silicone lubricant.

This O-ring seats between the strainer cover and the pump body, maintaining a watertight seal at the strainer pot. A worn or damaged O-ring at this joint allows air ingestion and pressure loss, causing the pump to lose prime. Replacing it restores the airtight seal and allows the pump to maintain consistent flow.

Poolaroo Pro Tip

Inspect the strainer cover O-ring at the start of every pool season and any time you remove the strainer cover for basket cleaning. Even an O-ring that looks intact can have micro-deformations that allow air to enter the suction side. Before reinstalling the cover, apply a thin coat of silicone-based lubricant to extend O-ring life and ensure a consistent seal — browse Pool Plumbing Lubricants for a compatible option.
