{"product_id":"spx3200sa-hayward-shaft-seal-assembly","title":"SPX3200SA | Hayward Pump Shaft Seal Assembly","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"43\" data-end=\"649\"\u003eThe Hayward SPX3200SA Shaft Seal Assembly is a genuine OEM replacement kit engineered to maintain watertight integrity in select Hayward pool pumps including the TriStar, EcoStar, and NorthStar lines. This assembly replaces the mechanical seal located at the motor shaft — a critical barrier that keeps water from leaking into the motor and pump housing. By installing SPX3200SA, you restore proper sealing, protect motor bearings and internal components from water intrusion, and extend the service life of your pump, especially under regular chlorinated or salt-pool conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"651\" data-end=\"667\"\u003eHighlights\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"668\" data-end=\"1754\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"668\" data-end=\"844\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"670\" data-end=\"844\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"670\" data-end=\"695\"\u003eOEM-Grade Shaft Seal:\u003c\/strong\u003e Delivers a precise fit for compatible Hayward pumps, ensuring reliable sealing against shaft leaks often caused by worn or damaged original seals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"845\" data-end=\"1046\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"847\" data-end=\"1046\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"847\" data-end=\"881\"\u003eIncludes Full Seal Components:\u003c\/strong\u003e Comes with both the rotating and stationary seal faces, elastomer bellows, and other needed internal parts for a complete rebuild of the pump’s wet-end seal area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1047\" data-end=\"1290\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1049\" data-end=\"1290\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1049\" data-end=\"1093\"\u003eResists Chlorine, Salt \u0026amp; Pool Chemicals:\u003c\/strong\u003e Designed for durability under typical pool water chemistry — including pools with elevated salt levels — to reduce corrosion and seal degradation over time.\u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ms-1 inline-flex max-w-full items-center relative top-[-0.094rem] animate-[show_150ms_ease-in]\" data-testid=\"webpage-citation-pill\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1291\" data-end=\"1503\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1293\" data-end=\"1503\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1293\" data-end=\"1327\"\u003ePrevents Motor Damage \u0026amp; Leaks:\u003c\/strong\u003e By blocking water intrusion at the shaft, it helps safeguard the motor and internals from rust, electrical failures, or premature wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1504\" data-end=\"1754\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1506\" data-end=\"1754\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1506\" data-end=\"1549\"\u003eIdeal for Maintenance or Pump Rebuilds:\u003c\/strong\u003e Recommended as a routine maintenance item when rebuilding or replacing the motor on a compatible Hayward pump, helping restore factory-seal integrity and performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHayward TriStar Pump Models: SP3200EE, SPX3200X, SP3600\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHayward NorthStar Pump Models: SP4000, SP4000X\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHayward EcoStar Pump Models SP3400VSP, SP3400VSPVR\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"288\" data-end=\"307\"\u003eAdditional Info\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"308\" data-end=\"642\"\u003eThis FAQ helps in-store customers confirm whether the Hayward SPX3200SA shaft seal fits their TriStar, EcoStar, or NorthStar pump.
