The Hayward SPX1096AX Skimmer Adjusting Collar is a replacement alignment and height adjustment component designed for compatible Hayward pool skimmer assemblies. This adjusting collar helps position the skimmer body optimally relative to the pool deck and waterline, supporting effective surface skimming, stable circulation, and leak resistant performance during normal pool operation and maintenance.
Key Features
• Replacement skimmer adjusting collar engineered for use with compatible Hayward skimmer models.
• Enables precise height alignment of the skimmer flange with the pool deck or coping surface.
• Helps ensure proper skimmer water level contact for efficient surface debris capture.
• Supports stable suction and consistent flow through the skimmer and circulation system.
• Ideal for replacing worn, cracked, or misaligned adjusting collars during service.
• Constructed to withstand continuous exposure to pool water, chemicals, and outdoor environments.
Product Overview
The Hayward SPX1096AX Skimmer Adjusting Collar is an alignment accessory used in select pool skimmer systems to set and maintain the correct height of the skimmer flange relative to the pool deck and waterline. Correct positioning ensures that the skimmer opening interacts with the water surface precisely, maximizing surface debris removal and preventing inefficient flow or air entry into the circulation system.
Skimmer adjusting collars help installers and service technicians achieve the proper skimmer orientation during installation or maintenance. Over time, original collars can deteriorate or shift due to environmental conditions, chemical exposure, or mechanical stress, leading to improper skimmer placement and reduced performance. Replacing a compromised collar with the SPX1096AX restores correct alignment, improves surface skimming efficiency, and contributes to dependable long-term operation of compatible Hayward pool skimmer systems.
