Hayward SPX2600E5 Seal Plate (Super Pump / Max-Flo)
Hayward SPX2600E5 is a genuine replacement seal plate used on select Hayward
Super Pump and Max-Flo pool pumps. The seal plate mounts between the motor and the pump
housing and supports the mechanical shaft seal. Replacing a cracked or warped seal plate can stop leaks at the
motor/shaft area and help restore proper wet-end alignment.
