- Genuine Hayward The factory SP1056 hydrostatic relief valve, not an aftermarket copy.
- 1-1/2 inch Supplied in the 1-1/2 inch size.

- Sits in the drain sump A hydrostatic valve installs at the main drain so it works at the lowest point of the pool.
- Passive There is nothing to power or set. It opens on differential pressure and closes again on its own.

Product details
The Hayward SP1056 is a 1-1/2 inch hydrostatic relief valve, the genuine Hayward part. It is a small fitting with one job that only matters at one moment, and at that moment it matters a great deal.
The problem it solves
A full pool is heavy enough to hold itself down against the water in the ground around it. Drain the pool and that balance is gone. If the surrounding ground water has nowhere to go, it presses on the underside of the shell. The hydrostatic relief valve gives it a way in, so the pressure equalizes through the floor instead of working against it.
Where it lives
The valve sits in the main drain sump at the deepest point of the pool. It is passive: it opens on pressure difference and reseats on its own, with nothing to power, set or maintain.
When to replace it
Because it does nothing at all during normal operation, a failed hydrostatic valve gives no warning. If the pool is coming down for a liner change, a replaster or a repair, check the valve while the floor is accessible and fit a new one if there is any doubt.
