How to Find the Right Replacement Part on Waterway Plastics

Updated

To find a replacement part on Waterway Plastics, start with the Products section and browse by category (pumps, filters, skimmers, lighting, jets, controls) or search by part number. If you don't know the part number, use the Downloads Center to open catalogs and brochures with product specifications, then confirm the match with a local dealer through the Find a Dealer tool. Before ordering, check the Warranty page for coverage details and recall information.

Start With the Products Section

Waterway organizes its catalog by component type, which is the fastest route when you know what failed but not its number.

  1. Open Products and choose the category that matches your part: Pumps, Lighting, Jets & Hydrotherapy, Air Systems, Filters, or Controls.
  2. Narrow down within the category — for example, Skimmers / Skim Filters, Filters & Filter Systems, or Ells / Tees / Wyes.
  3. Open the product's View details page to confirm the item matches your equipment.

If you already have a part number printed on the old component or listed in your owner's manual, use the part-number lookup instead of browsing. The site states that products can be browsed "by category or part number."

Expected result: you land on a specific product page for the component you need, or a short list of candidates within that category.

Use the Downloads Center When the Category Isn't Enough

Category browsing tells you what a part is; catalogs and brochures tell you whether it fits your model. The Downloads Center hosts Waterway's digital catalogs and brochures for exploring products and specifications.

Use it when:

  • Two products in the same category look nearly identical.
  • You need dimensions, connection sizes, or model compatibility before ordering.
  • You want to verify a part number you found elsewhere.

Common sticking point: a part can appear in more than one category (for example, filter-related components under both Filters and Skimmers). If a search comes up empty, try the adjacent category before concluding the part isn't listed.

Confirm Fit With a Local Dealer

For homeowners, the site's Find a Dealer tool under FOR HOMEOWNERS connects you to local help — useful when you're unsure which replacement part matches an older pump, filter, or skimmer. The Sales Rep Locator serves the same purpose for regional product questions and support.

Bring the model and serial information from your equipment when you contact a dealer; that is what lets them confirm compatibility rather than guess.

Check Warranty and Recall Information First

Before buying a replacement, review the Warranty page. It covers three things relevant to a purchase decision:

  • Product registration — register a new product after installation.
  • Warranty coverage details — confirm what is covered and for how long.
  • Recall information — check whether your existing product is subject to a recall, which may change whether you repair or replace it.
