Hayward Perflex Filter System

This system uses Diatomaceous Earth (DE) media. DE is highly effective at trapping microscopic debris, which results in exceptionally clear water compared to standard sand or cartridge filters.

This system is designed specifically for above-ground pools and includes a 1 1/2-inch hose kit for standard connections. Ensure your pool setup can accommodate the 74.8 GPM maximum flow rate and the 1 HP pump power.

Cleaning is straightforward thanks to the exclusive bump handle. By operating the handle, you shift the Flex-Tubes inside the filter to knock off the dirty DE media, which then requires a quick backwash or recharge to restore optimal flow.

Yes, the kit includes the EC40AC filter, a 1 HP PowerFlo Matrix pump, a modular platform base, and the necessary 1 1/2-inch hose package. You will only need to provide the DE filter media and standard tools for assembly.

Yes, the included modular platform base is specifically designed to accept an optional chlorine feeder. This allows you to integrate your chemical sanitation system directly onto the filter base for a cleaner, more organized equipment pad.

The Flex-Tube design allows the system to operate with significantly less resistance than traditional filters. This efficiency means you get more filtered water circulation while using less pump horsepower, ultimately saving on energy costs.
