Hayward LEAF CANISTER O RING

The Hayward Leaf Canister O‑Ring is a small but essential sealing gasket that ensures a tight, leak‑free connection between the canister’s lid and body, allowing the system to maintain strong, uninterrupted suction as it collects leaves and larger debris. Its flexible, chemical‑resistant material compresses evenly to prevent air intrusion, which helps protect pump performance and keeps the cleaner operating efficiently. Over time, exposure to chlorine, UV light, and repeated opening of the canister can cause the O‑ring to stretch, flatten, or harden, making replacement important for preserving proper vacuum pressure. Because it is a compact rubber component, the estimated weight generally falls in the range of 0.01 to 0.03 pounds.
