Hayward SPX2300E Seal Plate (MaxFlo XL / MaxFlo VS / MaxFlo VS 500 Omni)
Hayward SPX2300E is a genuine replacement seal plate used on select Hayward MaxFlo pump platforms, including MaxFlo XL and MaxFlo VS models. The seal plate mounts between the motor and the pump housing and supports the mechanical shaft seal. Replacing a cracked, warped, or worn seal plate helps restore proper alignment and sealing, reducing the risk of leaks that can damage motor bearings and shorten equipment life.
