Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Hayward SPX1600S gasket fit?
The SPX1600S lid gasket fits the Hayward Super Pump range including SP1600, SP1605, SP1607, SP1608, SP1610, SP1611, SP1615, SP1616, SP1621, SP2600, SP2605, SP2607, SP2610, SP2615, and SP2621 series models.

How do I know if my pump lid gasket needs replacing?
Common signs include water leaking from the pump lid, the pump losing prime, or a visible crack, flattening, or brittleness in the existing gasket. Gaskets typically need replacing every 2–5 years depending on chemical exposure and UV.

Is this a genuine Hayward part?
Yes — this is a genuine Hayward OEM replacement gasket (part number SPX1600S), not an aftermarket copy. Genuine parts ensure correct fit and long-term reliability.

How do I replace the Hayward Super Pump lid gasket?
Turn off the pump and release any pressure. Unscrew the pump lid, remove the old gasket from the groove, clean the seating surface, and press the new gasket firmly into place. Refit the lid and hand-tighten. No special tools required.

Can I use lubricant on the gasket?
Yes — a small amount of silicone-based lubricant (not petroleum-based) applied to the gasket helps it seat correctly and extends its service life. Avoid petroleum-based products like Vaseline as they degrade rubber.

How long does the SPX1600S gasket last?
With normal use and proper chemical balance, the SPX1600S gasket typically lasts 2–5 years. Exposure to high chlorine levels, UV, or heat can shorten its lifespan. Applying silicone lubricant at installation helps maximise longevity.
