HaywardSPX3010C 1-Horsepower Impeller Replacement for Hayward Super Ii Pump

According to Hayward, this is an impeller for a 1.5Hp pump, not a 1Hp

It probably works harder than just about anything else you own, yet it is virtually indestructible. I used to be in the pool business for many years and I've probably only seen a few of these break where there wasn't an accident or neglect involved. That said, I was on my 4th motor replacement in 20 years and felt that changing out the impeller was probably worth it as a preventative.Changing it out is easy once you have the pump pulled apart, and that's easy too. You will need something to hold onto the shaft at the back of the motor or through the air vent, but then this simply unscrews. If it's a little tight, you might have to jerk it loose, but still less pressure than opening up a lot of food jars.If you are replacing the impeller, also make sure you replace the internal pump seal as well that's the two part unit that has a spring like unit that slides onto the back of the impeller and the white disk in a rubber tire part that fits into the back of the housing. These units do wear and it's just not worth putting it back together without those parts and having the thing leak.The only caveat in installing this impeller is to make sure that it is hand tight. It should just tighten itself because the shaft goes the direction to tighten it, but I have seen one case where someone didn't tighten it down properly and it leaked when starting. The installation is pretty straight forward though. If you can remove a few bolts and screw in a light bulb, you can replace an impeller.

The older one looked exactly like this and I didn’t even see any damage on it. After I put this on the suction power in the skimmer is so strong that I didn’t when to test it with my fingers. Taking the old one off is a pain the but, you move it clockwise to loosen it which it opposes the “Lefty loosy righty tighty” rule. You get what I mean, please try the opposite direction if it doesn’t come off. I gave myself blisters from pushing it too hard in the counter clockwise direction

Hayward figured out they had a poor design on the original impeller as it was ALL plastic with the replacement now having a bronze threaded bushing.

This was a perfect fit for my old Hayward super 2 pump. I couldn’t see anything wrong with the old impeller but when I changed it out it made a huge difference. It wasn’t hard to do either. An easy DIY job. Make sure you replace the seals at the same time, it only makes sense to replace the seals as well for a complete pump rebuild.
