Hayward light gaskets or aftermarket

[JamesR]

I am changing the bulb in the pool and have always used OEM Hayward gaskets. SPX0580Z2 for the pool and SPX0590G for the smaller spa gasket. I ordered gaskets from Florida Sunseeker. The spa gasket is an OEM but the pool light gasket is a no name and the material is noticeably thinner. Has anyone used these before? Should I be concerned and just go get a Hayward OEM gasket instead?

Changing the bulb is such a hassle you don‘t want to do it twice. I would use the OEM gasket to be safe.

I sent them a message about the gaskets. He says the thinner no name gasket is a Hayward OEM. I am not sure I believe that. Unless Hayward recently changed their quality making them thinner and not stamping them with any writing whatsoever.
