These Waterway pump traps look similar, but they are not interchangeable. Before you order a replacement be sure to check the size of the union nut that connects the trap to the face of the pump. The union nuts are different sizes and are labeled with different part numbers(as shown in lower pics). Trap 310-6500 will fit the Hi Flo and Hi Flo II pumps. Trap 310-5400 will fit the Iron Might, E Series, Spa Flo, TWM, and Center Discharge pumps.
Return fitting is OBSOLETE but a replacement might work

After several years the sun will degrade the flex hose between the pump and the sand filter valve. This replacement hose makes for an easy repair. The unions are both ends of the hose are easily attached to the filter system. There are several sizes, however, this was the most common hose on the “big round blue tanks”.
The handle is kept in position by a handle spring. The tension on the handle helps keep the gasket seated and the water flowing in the correct direction. The spring may need to be replaced.
Refer to Waterway’s owners guide for proper backwashing procedures. It may be that you are not backwashing long enough. Always backwash until the water is flowing clean/clear through the waste adapter fitting.
You may have live algae causing the filter to clog. You may also have mineral deposits building in the sand bed.
It is highly recommended that you have your water tested by your local pool/spa professional or dealer. Compare those results with your own. You may need to update your test kit or replace the testing solutions.
If your Baquapure or Aquastar sand filter valve is leaking out the backwash port, you may need to replace this diverter. When the gasket gets worn it allows water to travel in between the different valve positions. You are actually backwashing at the same time you are filtering. You can extend the life of your filter system with this repair. Part # 600-9500 at www.waterwayparts.com
Yes. The lid o-ring should be lubricated at least once per month to maintain its elasticity.
A silicone-based lubricant should be used as it holds up better to the chlorine gas. Silicone or Teflon based o-ring lubricant is recommended on all o-rings used on Waterway product. Parts www.waterwayparts.com
