Hayward MaxFlo Strainer Cover with Gasket In stock$6099
Quick overview
- Cover and gasket together SPX1250LA is supplied as the strainer cover with its gasket, so the seal is replaced at the same time.
- Clear Lexan You can see the basket and the water level without pulling the lid off.
- For Max-Flo pumps The strainer cover used on the Hayward Max-Flo 1800 and 2800 model pumps.
- The usual cause of a pump losing prime A cracked cover or a flattened gasket lets air in on the suction side and the pump will not hold prime.
- Genuine Hayward The factory part rather than an aftermarket lid that may not seal against the pot.
- Lubricate on assembly A light silicone o-ring lubricant on the gasket helps it seat and makes the lid easy to remove next time.

Product details
The Hayward SPX1250LA is the strainer cover for the Max-Flo 1800 and 2800 model pumps, molded in clear Lexan and supplied with its gasket.
Why the cover matters
The strainer cover sits on the suction side of the pump, which means it is under vacuum whenever the pump runs. Any flaw in the seal pulls air rather than leaking water, and the symptom is a pump that spits air, runs noisy, or refuses to hold prime. Covers crack from over tightening and from years of heat and sun, and gaskets go hard and take a permanent set. Because the cover ships with a new gasket here, both halves of the seal are refreshed at once.
Clear for a reason
Lexan lets you see the basket without opening the pot, so it is obvious at a glance whether the basket is full of leaves or the water level has dropped.
Fitting
Seat the gasket clean and dry into its groove, put a thin film of silicone o-ring lubricant on it, then hand tighten the cover. Tools are what break these lids.
