Hayward Perflex Series User manual

  • Hello! I've reviewed the product details for the Hayward Perflex Series D.E. Filters, including the EC30, EC40AC, and EC50AC models. I see these filters use diatomaceous earth to filter particles down to one micron without needing backwashing. I'm ready to answer any questions you have about the technology, features, or installation of these filters.
  • What size particles can this filter remove?
    How often does the filter powder need to be replaced?
    Does this filter require backwashing?
