Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my spider gasket needs replacing?
Common signs include water leaking from the waste port when the valve is set to Filter, water bypassing between positions, or a spongy/inconsistent feel when rotating the valve handle. If your filter pressure is low despite clean media, a worn spider gasket is often the cause.

Which Hayward valve does SPX0715D suit?
This gasket is designed specifically for the Hayward SP715 50mm Vari-Flo multiport valve. Always verify your valve model and measure your existing gasket (160mm diameter) before ordering to ensure compatibility.

Is this a genuine Hayward part?
Yes — SPX0715D is a genuine Hayward OEM spider gasket, not a generic compatible replacement.

How difficult is it to replace a spider gasket?
It's a straightforward DIY job. Remove the valve top (usually 4–6 screws), lift out the rotor assembly, peel out the old gasket, clean the groove, and press in the new one. No special tools required — allow approximately 30 minutes.
