Hayward SPX0125T Strainer Cover Gasket (Pump Lid O-Ring) for MaxFlo Pumps
The Hayward SPX0125T is an OEM strainer cover gasket (pump lid O-ring) used to seal the clear strainer lid to the pump strainer housing. Replacing a flattened or cracked lid gasket helps prevent air leaks, drips, and loss of prime on compatible Hayward MaxFlo pump models.
Fits / Compatibility
- Hayward MaxFlo pump series: SP1800X and SP2800X
- Commonly referenced for MaxFlo models such as SP2807X10 and SP2810X152
- Often identified as gasket size O-76 in parts listings
Tip: Match your pump model number from the pump housing label to confirm fit before ordering.
What It Fixes
- Air bubbles in the pump basket or returning to the pool
- Pump losing prime or taking longer to prime
- Water seepage around the clear lid
- Lid that won’t seal consistently after cleaning the basket
What’s Included
- 1 strainer cover gasket (lid O-ring)
Installation Notes
- Turn off power to the pump at the breaker before servicing.
- Remove the lid, lift out the old gasket, and clean the gasket groove and lid sealing surface.
- Install the new gasket evenly (do not stretch excessively).
- Lightly lubricate the gasket with a silicone-based pool lube to improve sealing and reduce pinching.
- Hand-tighten the lid per the pump’s instructions—do not overtighten.

Maintenance Tips
- Clean the lid and gasket seating surfaces every time you empty the pump basket.
- Re-lube the gasket lightly a few times per season to help prevent air leaks and sticking.
- If the lid still leaks after gasket replacement, inspect the lid for cracks/warping and the housing sealing surface for damage.
- Any persistent air leak can reduce pump performance—address it early to protect the pump and filtration system.
