Manufactured to original genuine Hayward specifications, this O-ring restores proper sealing performance when the existing gasket becomes flattened, brittle, or chemically worn. Its durable elastomer construction resists pool chemicals, heat, and repeated lid removal during routine maintenance. The SPX2300Z4 is commonly used on MaxFlo XL SP2300X series pumps as well as MaxFlo VS SP2300VSP models. Replacing the strainer cover O-ring helps prevent air leaks, suction loss, and water seepage that can affect pump efficiency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"1085\" data-end=\"1099\"\u003eHighlights\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"1100\" data-end=\"1832\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1100\" data-end=\"1250\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1102\" data-end=\"1250\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1102\" data-end=\"1134\"\u003eStrainer Lid Sealing Gasket:\u003c\/strong\u003e Creates a watertight seal between the pump strainer cover and housing to maintain proper suction and circulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1251\" data-end=\"1403\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1253\" data-end=\"1403\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1253\" data-end=\"1297\"\u003eBuilt to Genuine Hayward Specifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e Manufactured as an OEM-matched component to ensure correct fit and sealing performance on MaxFlo pumps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1404\" data-end=\"1541\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1406\" data-end=\"1541\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1406\" data-end=\"1444\"\u003eLeak and Air Intrusion Prevention:\u003c\/strong\u003e Helps stop water loss and air draw that can lead to priming issues or reduced pump efficiency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1542\" data-end=\"1696\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1544\" data-end=\"1696\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1544\" data-end=\"1579\"\u003eDurable Elastomer Construction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Designed to withstand exposure to pool chemicals, sunlight, and repeated service cycles without premature failure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1697\" data-end=\"1832\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1699\" data-end=\"1832\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1699\" data-end=\"1732\"\u003eModel-Specific Compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Intended for use with Hayward MaxFlo XL and MaxFlo VS pumps including SP2300X and SP2300VSP series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHayward MaxFlo XL Pumps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"3824\" data-end=\"3843\"\u003eAdditional Info\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3845\" data-end=\"4142\"\u003eThe Hayward SPX2300Z4 Strainer Cover O-Ring is a replacement sealing gasket used to maintain vacuum integrity on compatible MaxFlo pumps.
