Hayward Perflex® Extended-Cycle Modular D.E. Filter Line
Experience the ultimate in water clarity with the world’s most efficient D.E. filtration technology.
The Hayward Perflex series represents the gold standard in Diatomaceous Earth (D.E.) filtration. Unlike standard filters, the Perflex utilizes a patented Extended-Cycle design that allows the D.E. powder to be "bumped" (re-coated) internally. This unique feature extends the time between cleanings by redistributing the filter media, ensuring your pool stays sparkling clear even during heavy use or high pollen seasons common in Northeast Pennsylvania.
Whether you are maintaining a traditional setup or one of the many stunning blue bottom pools in the region, the Perflex system provides a level of clarity that sand and cartridge filters simply cannot match, removing particles as small as 2 to 5 microns.
Key Features:
-
Exclusive "Bumping" Handle: The iconic top handle allows you to refresh the filter bed in seconds without backwashing, saving thousands of gallons of water and expensive chemicals each season.
-
Modular Versatility: Available in multiple sizes (EC30, EC40, EC50) to perfectly match your pool’s volume and pump flow rate.
-
Corrosion-Proof Construction: Injection-molded from high-strength reinforced thermoplastic for dependable, all-weather performance in the PA climate.
-
No Backwashing Required: Because you "bump" the filter to refresh it, there is no need for a complicated multiport valve or a waste line, simplifying your pool pad setup.
