Product details

The Hayward SPX1600R is the diffuser gasket for the Super Pump, Super II and Max-Flo pump series. It is a molded rubber o-ring, the genuine Hayward part.

What it seals

The diffuser sits over the impeller and shapes the flow leaving it. The gasket is what holds that joint tight. When it flattens or hardens, water takes the shortcut around the diffuser instead of through it, and the pump moves noticeably less water for the same amount of noise and current.

When to change it

The diffuser has to come out for almost any seal or impeller job, so this is the moment to fit a fresh gasket. A rebuilt pump that still underperforms is often a rebuild that reused a tired diffuser gasket.

Questions and answers

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

Which pumps use this gasket?
Hayward lists it for Super Pump SP1600X and SP2600X, Super II SP3000 and SP3000X, and Max-Flo SP1800X and SP2800X.
What does the diffuser gasket do?
It seals the diffuser against the housing so flow is directed through the impeller rather than leaking back around the diffuser.
Is this a genuine Hayward part?
Yes. It is Hayward SPX1600R.
Should I replace it during a seal change?
It is worth doing. The diffuser comes out for most seal and impeller work, and a hardened gasket is a common reason a pump moves less water after a rebuild.
