Know before you buy
This is a model-specific replacement part designed exclusively for Hayward Pro Series sand filters. It is not a universal seal, so please verify your filter model before purchasing.
You should replace the seal if you notice water leaking from the bulkhead area or if the existing rubber has become cracked, brittle, or flattened over time. A compromised seal can lead to a loss of pressure and reduced filtration efficiency.
The seal does not come pre-lubricated. It is recommended to apply a thin layer of pool-grade silicone lubricant to the seal during installation to ensure a proper fit and to help preserve the rubber material.
This is a genuine Hayward replacement part, manufactured to the exact specifications of the original component to ensure compatibility and performance with your Pro Series filter.
No, this seal is specifically engineered for the square bulkhead configuration found in Hayward Pro Series sand filters. It will not provide a secure or safe fit for other brands or different filter types.
