Details

The Hayward W3EC65A Perflex Extended Cycle D.E. Filter, with a capacity of 27 square feet, is specifically engineered for uninterrupted use in both inground and above ground pools. Utilizing DE filter powder, the Hayward EC65 filter employs the highly effective diatomaceous earth as its filter media, recognized for its exceptional efficiency.

To charge the filter, simply introduce DE into the skimmer while ensuring that the skimmer is running at full capacity. It is advisable to perform regular cleaning when the filter’s pressure gauge reads 10 – 12 PSI higher than its initial PSI reading.

For Cleaning

– First, stop the pump, then move the bump handle down slowly, then up briskly.
– Repeat 8 times.
– The Hayward Perflex’s exclusive BUMP action, causes the DE to shed from the fingers inside the tank, dirty DE and clean DE mix together and recoat the fingers. When the filter powder is totally used, the BUMP action makes it possible to drain the used DE without backwashing or dismantling the filter.
– Open the filter drain and open the vent valve (Note: if the filter is installed below the pool water line, close the suction and return valves) and allow water and dirt to empty completely. After the filter has drained, and with the drain still open, run the pump for a few seconds to flush out any dirt remaining in the bottom of the filter.
– Close the filter drain and the vent valve. Open the suction and return valves to return to normal circulation. Perflex Extended-Cycle D.E. filters clean pools fast, removing particles as small as two microns the first time through.
