While it is intended for outdoor use, it is particularly important to protect any electrical components from the elements. For optimal performance, make sure that the pump is located below the swimming pool water line. Ensure that the mounting platform is level and keep the filter bump handle, drain outlet and pressure gauge accessible for convenient operation. Maintaining the Hayward EC40 Perflex One unfortunate thing about some pool filters is that they require a lot of maintenance. Unlike many other pool filters, the EC40 does not require any backwashing. Instead, the Perflex pool filter only needs bumping. Using the bump handle you can reposition the dirt within the filter to ensure that the water flow is not being interfered with. When the dirt holding capacity is reached, this process of regeneration restores the original flow and pressure of the filter easily. You will know it is time to clean the filter when the pressure gauge rises to more than 10 PSI. This pool filter only needs to be bumped approximately every eight weeks, meaning you can enjoy your pool with hardly any maintenance almost all summer long!
