Hayward SCREEN, GRAY MET

A Hayward screen in gray metallic is a small protective insert used in certain Hayward pool cleaners to help prevent larger debris from entering the internal turbine and drive components. Its perforated design allows steady water flow while blocking material that could cause clogging or reduce cleaning efficiency. The gray metallic finish provides a clean, modern look and typically matches other components in the cleaner’s assembly. Made from durable, chemical‑resistant plastic, it holds up well under continuous exposure to chlorinated water and the mechanical movement of daily operation. Despite its functional role, the screen remains very lightweight, with an estimated weight of about 0.05–0.1 pounds, depending on the specific model.
