Product details

The Waterway 715-1201 is the black 3/8 in. quarter slot drain plug used on Waterway pool pumps, including the Hi-Flo and the Executive 56 frame models.

Small part, real job

The drain plug is how water gets out of the strainer pot and volute. Before a freeze that is not optional: water left in a pump housing expands as it freezes and cracks the plastic, which turns a five dollar part into a new wet end. It comes out again any time the pump is opened for service.

Do the seal at the same time

Plugs are usually replaced because the old one is cross threaded, stripped in the slot or weeping. The seal at the plug is a separate Waterway o-ring, so pick one up with the plug rather than reusing a seal that has been compressed for several seasons.

Questions and answers

What people ask about this product, answered by our pool techs.

Does the o-ring come with the plug?
No. The drain plug o-ring is a separate Waterway part. Order one alongside if the old seal is flattened or nicked, because that is what usually causes a weep at the plug.
What size is it?
3/8 in., with a quarter slot head.
Which pumps take this plug?
Waterway pool pumps, including the Hi-Flo and the Executive 56 frame models.
Why do I need to pull the drain plug?
To empty the strainer pot and volute. That is done before a freeze so water left inside cannot expand and crack the housing, and any time the wet end is coming apart for service.
