{"product_id":"strainer-cover-with-lock-ring-o-ring","title":"Hayward Power-Flo Matrix Strainer Cover Kit","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Hayward SPX5500D is the strainer cover kit for the Power-Flo Matrix SP1590 series pump. It comes as the cover, the lock ring and the O-ring together.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy the whole kit\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese three pieces work as one seal. A new cover on a worn lock ring, or a good ring on a hardened O-ring, still leaves a path for air. Replacing them together restores the seal properly and saves a second order two weeks later.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe symptom\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAir at the lid rarely shows as a leak, because the pump is pulling on that side rather than pushing. What you see instead is a pump that will not prime, a basket area that never fills completely, or bubbles arriving at the returns. Crazing or hairline cracks in an old cover and a flattened O-ring are the usual causes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFitting note\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWipe the sealing groove clean before the new O-ring goes in, and put a light film of pool rated silicone lubricant on it. It seals better and the cover will still come off by hand next season.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hayward","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48626222825684,"sku":"HAY-101-8003","price":104.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/default_b5c9b84c-fbe5-4b1f-b4b4-e361e0c31765.png?v=1788706503","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/strainer-cover-with-lock-ring-o-ring","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
