Hayward ENLARGED SUCTION ELEMENT

A Hayward enlarged suction element is designed to increase the surface area through which water is drawn, helping improve flow efficiency and reduce the likelihood of clogging in pool circulation systems. It’s typically molded from durable, chemical‑resistant plastic that holds up well under constant water movement and exposure to sanitizing agents. The larger profile allows debris to be captured or dispersed more effectively, supporting smoother pump operation and reducing strain on the system. Even with its expanded size, the component remains relatively lightweight for easy handling during installation or maintenance, with an estimated weight of about 0.3–0.6 pounds, depending on the specific model
