WARNING – Risk of Electric Shock. All electrical wiring MUST be in conformance with applicable local codes,
regulations, and the National Electric Code (NEC). Hazardous voltage can shock, burn, and cause death or serious property
damage. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do NOT use an extension cord to connect unit to electric supply. Provide a properly
located electrical receptacle. Before working on any electrical equipment, turn off power supply to the equipment. To reduce
the risk of electric shock replace damaged wiring immediately. Locate conduit to prevent abuse from lawn mowers, hedge
trimmers and other equipment. Do NOT ground to a gas supply line.
WARNING – Risk of Electric Shock Failure to ground all electrical equipment can cause serious or fatal electrical shock
hazard. Electrical ground all electrical equipment before connecting to electrical power supply.
WARNING – Risk of Electric Shock Failure to bond all electrical equipment to pool structure will increase risk for
electrocution and could result in injury or death. To reduce the risk of electric shock, see installation instructions and consult a
professional electrician on how to bond all electrical equipment. Also, contact a licensed electrician for information on local
electrical codes for bonding requirements.
Notes to electrician: Use a solid copper conductor, size 8 or larger. Run a continuous wire from external bonding lug to
reinforcing rod or mesh. Connect a No. 8 AWG (8.4 mm
2
) [No. 6 AWG (13.3 mm
2
) for Canada] solid copper bonding wire to the
pressure wire connector provided on the electrical equipment and to all metal parts of swimming pool, spa, or hot tub, and metal
piping (except gas piping), and conduit within 5 ft. (1.5 m) of inside walls of swimming pool, spa, or hot tub.
IMPORTANT - Reference NEC codes for all wiring standards including, but not limited to, grounding, bonding and other general
wiring procedures.
WARNING – Risk of Electric Shock . The electrical equipment must be connected only to a supply circuit that is
protected by a ground-fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI). Such a GFCI should be provided by the installer and should be tested on a
routine basis. To test the GFCI, push the test button. The GFCI should interrupt power. Push reset button. Power should be
restored. If the GFCI fails to operate in this manner, the GFCI is defective. If the GFCI interrupts power to the electrical equipment
without the test button being pushed, a ground current is flowing, indicating the possibility of an electrical shock. Do not use this
electrical equipment. Disconnect the electrical equipment and have the problem corrected by a qualified service representative
before using.
CAUTION – HAYWARD
®
pumps are intended for use with permanently-installed pools and may be used with hot tubs and
spas if so marked. Do not use with storable pools. A permanently-installed pool is constructed in or on the ground or in a
building such that it cannot be readily disassembled for storage. A storable pool is constructed so that it is capable of being
readily disassembled for storage and reassembled to its original integrity.
WARNING – Risk of Hyperthermia. To avoid hyperthermia the following “Safety Rules for Hot Tubs” are recommended by
the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
1. Spa or hot tub water temperatures should never exceed 104°F [40°C]. A temperature of 100°F [38°C] is
considered safe for a healthy adult. Special caution is suggested for young children. Prolonged immersion in
hot water can induce hyperthermia.
2. Drinking of alcoholic beverages before or during spa or hot tub use can cause drowsiness, which
could lead to unconsciousness and subsequently result in drowning.
3. Pregnant women beware! Soaking in water above 100°F [38°C] can cause fetal damage during the
first three months of pregnancy (resulting in the birth of a brain-damaged or deformed child). Pregnant women
should adhere to the 100°F [38°C] maximum rule.
4. Before entering the spa or hot tub, users should check the water temperature with an accurate ther-
mometer; spa or hot tub thermostats may err in regulating water temperatures by as much as 4°F (2.2°C).
5. Persons taking medications, which induce drowsiness, such as tranquilizers, antihistamines or anti-
coagulants, should not use spas or hot tubs.
6. If the pool/spa is used for therapy, it should be done with the advice of a physician. Always stir pool/ spa
water before entering the pool/spa to mix in any hot surface layer of water that might exceed healthful
temperature limits and cause injury. Do not tamper with controls, because scalding can result if safety controls
are not in proper working order.
7. Persons with a medical history of heart disease, circulatory problems, diabetes or blood pressure
problems should obtain a physicians advice before using spas or hot tubs.
8. Hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches a level several degrees above
normal body temperature of 98.6°F [37°C]. The symptoms of Hyperthermia include: drowsiness, lethargy,
dizziness, fainting, and an increase in the internal temperature of the body.
The effects of Hyperthermia include:
1. Unawareness of impending danger.
2. Failure to perceive heat.
3. Failure to recognize the need to leave the spa.
4. Physical inability to exit the spa.
5. Fetal damage in pregnant women.
6. Unconsciousness resulting in danger of drowning.

STARTING THE FILTER
Close the filter drain and the vent valve.
CAUTION: Separation Hazard. Failure to open all suction and discharge valves when starting the pump could cause
severe personal injury and/or property damage. To avoid open all suction and discharge valves.
Prime and start the pump following the manufacturer's instructions. Air trapped in the system will automatically vent to
the pool. When there is a steady flow of water returning to the pool, the filter is ready for precoating.
DO NOT
operate
the filter for more than one minute without the precoat charge.
PRECOATING
Scoop 5 lbs. (2.3 kgs.) of diatomite into the system through the skimmer as fast as the plumbing will take it. Note and record the
pressure gauge reading after the diatomite has been added. This is the
"precoat pressure."
FILTERING
Filtration starts as soon as the filter has been precoated. As the filter removes dirt from the pool water, the accumulated dirt causes a
resistance to flow. As a result, the gauge pressure will rise and the flow will decrease. When the pressure rises 7-10 psi (.49-.70 Bar)
above the precoat pressure, regenerate the filter.
REGENERATION (Extending the Cycle)
Stop the pump. Move the bump handle down slowly, then up briskly. Repeat 3 times. Restart the pump and filtration will resume at
near the original flow and pressure.
After each regeneration, and until the filter is cleaned, there may be a slight increase in the starting pressure. This is the result of dirt
accumulating within the filter and is completely normal.
CLEANING
Cleaning is recommended when the gauge pressure rises more than 10 psi (.70 Bar) in less than a 24 hour period or when cloudy water
returns to the pool for more than 30 seconds after regeneration. To clean, first stop the pump; then move the bump handle down
slowly, then up briskly. Repeat 8 times. Open the vent valve (under bump cover), open the filter drain (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. (Note: If the filter is installed below the pool water line, opening the
suction
valve for a few seconds with the pump off will
adequately flush the unit.)
Close the filter drain and the vent valve. Open the suction and return valves (when used). Start the pump and let the filter fill with
water and repeat the CLEANING procedure. This completes the cleaning phase. The filter is now ready for recharging. Proceed as in
STARTING THE FILTER and PRECOATING.
VACUUMING
Vacuuming can be performed directly into the filter whenever needed. For fastest results, regenerate the filter before and after each
vacuuming operation.
TO CHANGE BUMP HANDLE POSITION
1. Remove the bump handle grip. Push in tab at base of handle. Carefully pry the bump cover from the retaining groove and slide the
cover off the handle.
2. Using a drift (or 10 penny nail), tap the pivot pin out of the filter head anchor point, freeing the end of the handle.
Rotate the bump handle to the alternate position and align the handle and the head anchor holes. Tap the pivot pin in place.
3. Reinstall the bump cover and grip.
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
While Perflex filters are basically resistant to the difficulties often encountered as a result of chemical build-up in swimming pools, it is
important to keep in mind that the mineral content in a pool increases every day as a result of the chemicals and the normal water
evaporation process. If the concentration of minerals is allowed to get too high, the minerals will form deposits on the Flex-Tubes inside
the filter, and will eventually result in shortened filter cycles. To guard against this, a yearly chemical cleaning (soaking) of the Flex-Tube
assembly is suggested. Use commercially available 20% muriatic acid added to water in 1 to 1 ratio; or use other commercial filter element
cleaner mixed according to the package instructions. Use a plastic container.
CAUTION: Chemical Hazard –Chemicals can cause personal or property damage, to avoid use personal
protective gear when handeling.
After cleaning, thoroughly flush all affected parts with cold water. Always wear gloves and eye protection when handling cleaning
agents.
WINTERIZING
In areas where sub-freezing temperatures can be expected, the filter should be drained and removed from its operating location and stored
indoors. Prior to removal, cycle the filter as described under CLEANING.

SERVICE & REPAIRS
Consult your local authorized
Hayward-Perflex
dealer or service center. No returns may be made directly to the factory without the
expressed written authorization of Hayward Pool Products, Inc.
ALGAE CONTROL
Algae is a form of plant life which can vary in size from a few thousandths of an inch to the size of a small tree. Of the many forms of algae,
those most frequently found in swimming pool water are microscopic in size and green in color.
Algae readily grows in sunlight and can, under favorable conditions, quickly overgrow a swimming pool turning it completely green in just
a few hours. On the other hand, swimming pool water can be kept unfavorable to algae growth simply by maintaining a chlorine level of at
least 0.5 ppm in the water at all times. The chlorine level should be checked at least once a day using a suitable test kit.
If an algae condition develops and the pool water "blooms" green, superchlorination of the pool will be necessary to clear it. Add
unstabilized granular chlorine, or liquid chlorine.
Follow chemical manufacturer's recommendation for superchlorination. The algae will quickly become inactive and can then be removed
by the filter. Live algae, on the other hand, multiplies so fast that the filter cannot keep up with its growth rate. In an active algae
situation, it may be necessary to regenerate the Perflex filter as frequently as every 2 to 3 hours.
When correctly used, commercial algaecides are effective against algae, though algaecides should be used in conjunction with, and not
as a substitute for, regular chlorination or superchlorination.
Maintaining a chlorine level of at least 0.5 ppm in the pool water at all times is the most effective way to prevent algae growth in swimming
pools

disassemble-and clean.
4. Check cover gasket, hand knobs, hose, clamps,
etc. Replace or tighten as necessary.
5. Consult pump and motor trouble shooting guide.
NOTE:
Most motor problems are due to:
a) Undersized or improper wiring.
b) Power cut-backs or a combination of both.
Short cycles.
1. D.E. loaded to capacity with pool dirt, algae, etc.
2. Bumping incorrectly.
3. Bump handle bent.
4. Pump output exceeds design flow rate of filter.
5. Presence of algae.
1. Bump-Drain-Recharge.
2. Slow down stroke - brisk upstroke. Repeat 6
times.
3. Check and straighten or replace.
4. Check GPM/LPM output. Regulate pump

Contaminated (clogged) Fle
x
-Tube braids caused by:
a. Natural accumulation of chemical deposits (accelerated if
chemicals are fed thru skimmer).
b. Running D.E. charge too long with excessive amount of live
algae present in pool.
c. Operating filter without D.E.
d. Operating too long without D.E. after starting pump. D.E. must
be added as soon as filter is full of water and pump is putting out a
steady stream.
IMPORTANT —
Testing a new pool plumbing system without adding
D.E. will cause this type of clogging.
Clean Tube Nest
a) Detergent Cleaning: Remove tube nest and
hose down with forceful stream of clean
water. Soak tube nest in strong solution of
laundry detergent (such as
Cheer)
and warm
water. Hose down again.
b) Chemical Cleaning: This requires use of water
and muriatic acid solution (or filter cleaner-
type preparations) to chemically dissolve
contaminates. Consult your pool dealer for
chemical cleaning instructions.
