A damaged seat will prevent the replacement collar from seating securely regardless of part condition. Confirm the collar clicks or threads firmly into position before returning the skimmer to service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- wft:processed:manual:2026-06-18 --\u003e","brand":"Hayward","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54303494635795,"sku":"SPX1096AX","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0920\/0687\/5411\/files\/hayward-adjusting-collar-for-auto-skim-skimmer-sp1096-spx1096ax.webp?v=1786530209","url":"https:\/\/poolaroo.com\/products\/hayward_spx1096ax","provider":"Poolaroo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
