Any debris or residue on the sealing faces can cause the replacement gasket to leak under operating pressure. Inspect the skimmer body for cracks or deformation at the seating area while the gasket is removed — addressing any damage at this stage avoids a repeat service call.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- wft:processed:manual:2026-06-22 --\u003e","brand":"Hayward","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54303489294611,"sku":"SPX0097E","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0920\/0687\/5411\/files\/hayward-gasket-for-1-fip-auto-skim-skimmer-sp1096-spx0097e-1.webp?v=1790760081","url":"https:\/\/poolaroo.com\/products\/hayward_spx0097e","provider":"Poolaroo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
