Description
The Hayward Pump Housing Strainer (SPX1620AA) is the OEM replacement strainer housing for Hayward Super Pump High Efficiency, Super Pump XE, and Super Pump VS pump models.
What It Does
The strainer housing forms the front body of the pump’s pre-filter assembly, enclosing the strainer basket that captures debris before water reaches the impeller. Replacing a cracked, warped, or leaking housing restores a proper seal to the wet end and prevents bypass flow that can allow debris to reach the pump internals.

Poolaroo Pro Tip
When fitting the replacement housing, inspect the lid O-ring and body O-rings at the same time a distorted or hardened O-ring is a common cause of strainer housing leaks and is inexpensive to replace while the wet end is already open. Check the strainer basket for cracks before reassembly; a cracked basket allows debris to pass through regardless of how tight the housing seal is.
