Hayward AX6060A Booster Pump Volute Housing
The Hayward AX6060A is the OEM volute (pump housing) designed for Hayward booster pumps and certain pressure-side pool cleaner booster systems. It forms the main wet-end housing that directs water flow through the pump and into your pool plumbing or cleanermaking it a critical component when your original volute is cracked, leaking, or otherwise damaged.
Key Features
- Official Hayward replacement volute for 6060/5060 booster pumps and compatible pressure-side cleaner pump systems.
- Constructed from durable pool-rated plastic/resinresistant to chlorinated or salt water and designed for prolonged outdoor exposure.
- Exact OEM fitensures correct alignment with motor, shaft, impeller, and plumbing unions when replacing a worn or damaged housing.
- Can be re-oriented in some installations for horizontal discharge to suit different plumbing layouts.

When to Replace / Use
Use the AX6060A volute when the original housing is cracked, leaking, or has failedsymptoms may include loss of prime, reduced pressure, leaks at the pump wet-end, or inability to maintain flow. Replacing the volute restores proper hydraulic function and extends the life of the pump or cleaning system.
Installation & Maintenance Tips
- Shut off power and drain water before disassembly. Remove the motor and impeller per manufacturer instructions.
- Inspect the shaft, impeller, and seals while disassembledreplacing worn components as needed to prevent leaks or damage.
- Fit the new volute carefully, align unions and plumbing to avoid stress on fittings, and tighten bolts evenly.
- Prime and test the pump after reassemblycheck for leaks and proper flow before full operation.
Why Carry This Part
Because the volute is a common failure pointespecially on pressure-side booster pumps or older pool systemsstocking AX6060A gives pool owners or service professionals a direct, OEM-grade replacement option. That avoids the need to replace the entire pump or cleaner when only the housing has failed, keeping maintenance costs down and equipment life extended.
