Product details

The Hayward SPX5500C is the strainer housing for the Power-Flo Matrix series pump, model SP1590. It is the genuine Hayward OEM part, molded in plastic.

What the housing does

The strainer housing is the front chamber of the pump. Water from the pool enters here first and passes through the strainer basket, which catches leaves and debris before they reach the impeller. Everything downstream of it depends on that chamber holding pressure and holding prime.

When to replace it

Housings fail from cracks, usually at a threaded fitting, from freeze damage, or from distortion after years of heat and sun. Those are not repairable on a part that has to seal under pressure. A leak at the lid or the drain, by contrast, is usually the seal rather than the housing itself, so look at the cheap parts before condemning the pot.

What is not included

This is the housing alone. The Matrix strainer basket, the housing o-ring and the drain plug with gasket are separate Hayward parts, and they are worth renewing while the pump is apart.

Questions and answers

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

Which pump does this fit?
The Hayward Power-Flo Matrix series pump, model SP1590.
Is this a genuine Hayward part?
Yes. It is the Hayward OEM strainer housing, part number SPX5500C.
Does the basket or the o-ring come with it?
No. This listing is the housing itself. The Matrix strainer basket, the housing o-ring and the drain plug with gasket are separate Hayward parts.
My housing is leaking. Do I need a whole new one?
Not always. A leak at the lid or a fitting is often the seal or the drain plug. Replace the housing when it is cracked, split or distorted, because plastic repairs on a pressurized pot do not hold.
