Hayward Power-Flo Strainer Housing With Basket | SPX1500CAP

Engineered as a direct OEM replacement, the Hayward SPX1500CAP strainer housing and basket assembly is designed to fit Hayward Power-Flo, Power-Flo LX, and Power-Flo II pool pump series. The housing seats the included debris basket directly in the suction path so that leaves, hair, and larger solids are intercepted before they can reach the pump impeller, protecting the pump's internal components and preserving consistent water flow through the filtration loop. Identifiable by the SP-1515 stamp on the side, the assembly measures 5-5/8 inches inside diameter and 9 inches in overall length, dimensions that match Hayward's factory specifications for a precise, leak-free drop-in fit. Note that this kit consists of the strainer housing and basket only, with the pump trap lid and lid O-ring sold separately, and the assembly is not compatible with the Hayward Power-Flo Matrix pump line. For pool owners and service techs dealing with a cracked strainer pot or stubborn air leak, this OEM replacement is an inexpensive route back to proper pump operation.

Highlights

• Hayward OEM SPX1500CAP Construction: Factory-authorized strainer assembly stamped SP-1515, manufactured to Hayward's original equipment specifications, providing the same dimensional accuracy, sealing performance, and durability as the housing originally installed at the factory on Power-Flo series pumps.
• Compatible Across the Power-Flo Lineup: Designed to fit Hayward above ground pump models 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 commonly found in residential pool installations.
• Impeller Protection from Day One: The included debris basket intercepts leaves, hair, and larger contaminants before they can be drawn into the pump impeller, an important safeguard that helps prevent clogs, reduces wear on internal components, and supports steady flow throughout the system.
• Precise OEM Sizing: Inside diameter measures 5-5/8 inches, outer notch dimensions come in at 6-1/2 inches, and overall length is 9 inches — all matched to Hayward's original specifications so the assembly seals correctly with the existing lid, lid O-ring, and pump gasket.
• Affordable Fix for Common Pump Issues: Replacing a cracked, deteriorated, or air-leaking strainer pot with the correct OEM SPX1500CAP assembly tackles one of the leading causes of pump performance loss, restoring full operation at a small fraction of the cost of installing a new pump.
