Hayward LX Pump Strainer Housing - SP1516

Restore proper pump priming and eliminate suction-side leaks with the Hayward SP1516 LX Pump Strainer Housing — a genuine replacement strainer body designed for Hayward LX series pool pumps.

This housing holds the pump basket and creates the sealed chamber that allows water to flow efficiently into the pump impeller. If cracked or leaking, it can cause air intrusion, poor circulation, and pump priming failure.

Ideal for repairing damaged pump wet ends without replacing the entire pump.
