Hayward Power-Flo Strainer Housing With Basket | SPX1500CAP

The Hayward SPX1500CAP is an OEM strainer housing and basket assembly built as a direct replacement for the Hayward Power-Flo, Power-Flo LX, and Power-Flo II pool pump series. Functioning as the first line of defense in the pump's flow path, the housing holds the included debris basket in position to intercept leaves, hair, and larger solids before they reach the pump impeller, helping prevent clogs and maintain steady circulation throughout the filtration system. Stamped SP-1515 on the side, the assembly measures 5-5/8 inches inside diameter and 9 inches in overall length, matching factory dimensions for a precise, leak-free drop-in installation. The kit includes the strainer housing and basket only — the pump trap lid and lid O-ring are sold separately — and the assembly is not compatible with Hayward Power-Flo Matrix pumps. Replacing a cracked or air-leaking strainer pot with the correct OEM part is one of the fastest, most economical ways to restore lost pump performance.

Highlights

• Genuine Hayward OEM Assembly: Factory-authorized SPX1500CAP housing stamped SP-1515 on the side, engineered to original equipment specifications so it delivers the same fit, function, and long-term durability as the strainer pot originally installed on compatible Power-Flo pump models.
• Wide Power-Flo Series Coverage: Fits a broad range of Hayward above ground pumps including the Power-Flo SP1500, Power-Flo LX SP1580, Power-Flo II and III SP1700, and Turbo-Flo series, covering both 1HP and 1.5HP configurations used across residential pool installations.
• Built-In Debris Capture: The included strainer basket traps leaves, hair, and larger debris before water reaches the impeller, reducing wear on internal pump components, preventing flow-killing clogs, and helping maintain consistent water movement through the filtration system.
• Factory-Matched Dimensions: Measures 5-5/8 inches inside diameter, 6-1/2 inches across the outer notch dimensions, and 9 inches in overall length, matching Hayward's original specifications so it seals properly with the existing lid, lid O-ring, and pump gasket.
• Cost-Effective Pump Restoration: Swapping out a cracked, damaged, or air-leaking strainer pot with the correct OEM SPX1500CAP assembly addresses one of the most common causes of pump performance loss, restoring proper operation at a fraction of the cost of replacing the entire pump.
