Hayward SPX3200UG UNION GASKET (T-SEAL), 50 DURO EPDM

The UNION GASKET (T-SEAL), 50 DURO EPDM is a crucial component for maintaining a watertight seal on your Hayward TriStar SP3200X Series Pump. It sits between the pump's union fittings, which are the threaded connectors that allow for easy removal of the pump for maintenance. This gasket's primary job is to compress and create a seal, preventing water from leaking out of the plumbing system. Over time, exposure to pool chemicals, UV rays, and constant pressure can cause the EPDM rubber to harden, lose its flexibility, and eventually crack or crumble. When this gasket fails, you'll typically notice water leaking from the union connections where the pump connects to your plumbing. If left unaddressed, these leaks can lead to a loss of prime for your pump, meaning it won't be able to effectively circulate water. This can result in cloudy water, filtration problems, and potentially damage to the pump motor if it runs dry. Replacing the union gasket is a straightforward maintenance task that ensures your Hayward pump operates efficiently and prevents costly water damage or further equipment failure.
