Hayward SPX1620AA is the direct replacement strainer housing for Hayward SuperPump models, sized 2" by 2" to restore reliable suction and basket protection.

This replacement pump strainer housing is engineered to fit the Hayward SuperPump SP1600X and SP2600X series models, bringing worn or damaged housings back to specification without changing plumbing. Constructed to match original dimensions, it accommodates the factory basket and cover while keeping flow and seal alignment correct. It’s a straightforward swap for pool technicians, DIY-savvy owners, and anyone maintaining older SuperPump units.

Will this housing fit my SuperPump model?

Yes — the SPX1620AA is designed specifically for a long list of SuperPump models in both the SP1600X and SP2600X families. Check your pump model number plate to confirm compatibility before ordering to ensure a direct replacement.

• Compatible with SP1600X and SP2600X series including SP1600X5 through SP1621X25 and SP2600X5 through SP2621X25
• Matches original factory dimensions (2" inlet and 2" outlet)
• Maintains original basket and cover fitment

How hard is it to install this replacement housing?

Installation is typically a simple mechanical swap that most owners with basic tools can complete in under an hour. You’ll remove the pump lid and basket, drain the pump, unbolt the old housing, transfer any internal parts, then bolt the new housing in place and reseal connections.

• Basic hand tools and a screwdriver or wrench required
• Keep original gasket, o-ring, and basket for reuse if undamaged
• Re-prime pump after installation to verify suction

What are the key dimensions and weight to check?

The critical dimensions are the 2-inch suction and discharge ports and the housing’s overall shape that accepts the factory basket and cover. The unit’s weight is approximately 6.4 pounds, useful for shipping or storage considerations.

• Inlet/outlet: 2" x 2" standard ports
• Overall form fits SuperPump SP1600X/SP2600X family plumbing layout
• Weight: about 6.4 lb for handling and mounting reference

How does replacing the housing affect pump performance?

Replacing a cracked or warped housing restores proper sealing and hydraulic alignment, helping the pump maintain intended flow and preventing air leaks that reduce prime. A quality replacement returns structural integrity and helps avoid costly damage to the impeller or motor from running with a compromised strainer chamber.

• Prevents air leaks that cause loss of prime
• Restores correct basket and cover seating to protect internals
• Maintains original flow path to preserve pump efficiency

Who is this for: Pool owners, maintenance professionals, and service shops that operate or repair Hayward SuperPump SP1600X and SP2600X models will find the SPX1620AA valuable when the original strainer housing is cracked, leaking, or otherwise compromised. It’s aimed at anyone seeking a like-for-like OEM-style replacement that keeps plumbing and internal components compatible, without adapting new fittings or redesigning the system.
