SW-80-012 | Swimables Hayward Super II Strainer Lid O-Ring | SPX3000S

The Swimables SW-80-012 O-Ring is a high-quality replacement for Hayward’s SPX3000S strainer cover seal (often called “O-12”). Designed for the Super II/SP3000 pump family, it seals the lid to the strainer pot, preventing leaks and air entry during pump operation. This ring features approximately 6-3/4″ outside diameter, 6-3/16″ inside diameter dimensions per published replacement listings. Made from durable elastomer resistant to pool chemicals, UV, and compression, it restores a tight, reliable lid seal for uninterrupted pump service.

Highlights

• Exact OEM Spec Replacement (O-12 / SPX3000S): Matches the original dimensions of the Hayward SPX3000S cover o-ring (6-3/4″ OD × 6-3/16″ ID) for drop-in compatibility without modifications.

• Seals Strainer Lid to Prevent Leaks: Ensures the interface between lid and strainer pot remains watertight—vital for preserving pump prime and preventing water loss under pressure.

• Durable Elastomer Construction: Built from synthetic rubber designed to resist chlorine, salt, UV exposure, and repeated compression cycles without deformation.

• Easy to Install Replacement: Slides into the groove in the lid easily and does not require special tools—ideal for pump maintenance or seasonal servicing.

• Restores Pump Efficiency & Reliability: A fresh lid seal eliminates bypass or suction leaks, helping the pump perform as designed with optimal flow and no air intrusion.

Compatibility

• Hayward Super II SP3000 Series Pumps
• Hayward Super II SP3000X Series Pumps
