When replacing, bring the original ring or note the existing part number to confirm you are ordering the correct color variant. If the ring shows cracking, brittleness, or deformation at the insert points, replace it promptly — a compromised ring can allow water to bypass the skimmer throat and reduce suction efficiency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- wft:processed:manual:2026-06-18 --\u003e","brand":"Hayward","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51774175674643,"sku":"WGX1048BBLK","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0920\/0687\/5411\/files\/hayward-black-vinyl-ring-with-inserts-wgx1048bblk.webp?v=1785319111","url":"https:\/\/poolaroo.com\/products\/hayward-vinyl-ring-w-inserts-black-wgx1048bblk","provider":"Poolaroo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
