Hayward Super Pump Strainer

Yes, this strainer is designed as a direct replacement specifically for the Hayward Super Pump series. It features the standard 2" x 2" connection size required for these units.

The strainer housing acts as a protective barrier that catches leaves, twigs, and other debris before they enter the pump's internal mechanism. This prevents clogs and protects the impeller from potential damage.

Yes, it includes the drain plugs, which allow you to easily empty the housing during winterization or routine maintenance.

You should consider a replacement if you notice cracks in the housing, leaks around the drain plugs, or if the threads have become stripped, preventing a proper seal. Any compromise in the housing can lead to air leaks, which will reduce your pump's efficiency.

Because this is a direct replacement part, the installation is straightforward for those familiar with basic pool plumbing. Ensure the pump is powered off and the water flow is shut off before beginning the swap.
