Hayward Impeller Ring
Restore Full Performance to Your Hayward Super II Pump
When your pool pump starts losing prime, pressure, or water flow, the culprit is often a worn impeller ring. The Hayward Impeller Ring SPX3021R is a genuine OEM replacement engineered to restore hydraulic efficiency in your Hayward Super II Pump. This small yet critical part keeps your pump performing at its best by reducing internal water bypass and ensuring a perfect fit between the impeller and diffuser.
Whether you manage a residential pool or a high-volume commercial system, this replacement ring helps your pump run quieter, cooler, and longer—saving you money on energy costs and preventing premature wear on the motor and impeller.
Why Replace Your Hayward Impeller Ring?
Efficiency Loss Over Time
Over months or years of operation, the impeller ring’s inner surface can wear down from friction, chemical exposure, and debris. Even slight erosion increases water bypass, which reduces pressure and circulation. Installing a new Hayward SPX3021R ring restores the tight clearance that maximizes your pump’s flow rate.
Prevent Expensive Repairs
A damaged or missing impeller ring can cause cavitation, vibration, and excessive strain on the impeller and motor bearings. By replacing it early, you can extend the lifespan of your Hayward Super II Pump and avoid costlier repairs down the road.
Maintain Proper Filtration
Reduced circulation impacts more than water movement—it affects chemical balance and filtration efficiency. The SPX3021R keeps your water turnover rate consistent, ensuring that your filter operates at full capacity to maintain clear, balanced pool water.

Installation Overview
-
Turn Off Power: Always disconnect the electrical supply before servicing any pool equipment.
-
Drain and Disassemble: Open the pump housing, remove the diffuser, and access the impeller assembly.
-
Remove the Old Ring: Carefully slide the worn impeller ring from the impeller or diffuser cavity.
