This rubber O-ring seals the lid to the body of the Hayward leaf canister, preventing water from leaking around the lid joint. A worn or cracked O-ring causes the canister to lose suction or leak at the lid. Replacing this O-ring restores a proper seal and maintains full suction to the pool cleaner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHayward Leaf Canister W530 (Large)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHayward Leaf Canister W560 (Standard)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: Hayward\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart number \/ SKU: AXW542\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: rubber\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine Hayward spare part\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I know if this O-ring needs replacing?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf the leaf canister lid is leaking, the cleaner is losing suction, or you can see the O-ring is cracked, flattened, or deformed, it is time to replace it. Turn off the pump, remove the canister lid, and inspect the O-ring in the lid groove. Even if the O-ring looks intact, if it has been in service for several years it may have lost its elasticity and should be replaced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes this suit both the Large (W530) and Standard (W560) canisters?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — part AXW542 suits both the \u003cstrong\u003eHayward W530 Large\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eW560 Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e leaf canisters. If you have a different Hayward leaf canister model, contact us with your model number to confirm compatibility before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eShould I lubricate the O-ring when fitting it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — apply a small amount of silicone-based O-ring lubricant (not petroleum-based grease) to the O-ring before fitting. This helps the O-ring seat correctly in the lid groove, prevents pinching, and extends its service life.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hayward","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48093414490387,"sku":"AXW542","price":25.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0716\/0591\/1827\/files\/HaywardLeafCanisterORing_480x_660eb2af-0369-4207-aeae-ce64c7a3b8e4.webp?v=1707350602","url":"https:\/\/poolshop.com.au\/products\/hayward-leaf-canister-oring-axw542","provider":"Pool Shop Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
