Hayward is updating these filters (a slight design change to the lid and color changes to the exterior parts). The one you receive may appear different from the one in the image.
Perflex Extended-Cycle D.E. filters clean pools fast, removing particles as small as one micron the first time through. Its patented Flex-Tube™ design gives longer cycles between cleaning because the same D.E. filter powder is used over and over. Plus, Perflex cleans without backwashing, saving hundreds of gallons of treated pool water. An exceptional value as a replacement filter or for new pool installations. For sparkling, clean pools, step up to Perflex.

The manual says that a diverter valve can be installed for vacuuming to waste during heavy spring clean up or pulling rain water out of the pool. Where would it be installed? Do you sell this valve?
Reply
Yes we do carry this diverter valve which you may view or purchase through this link http://www.inyopools.com/Products/07501352023400.htm This valve has 3 ports on it, the valve would screw into the disharge side of your pump and you can have the handle turned so the return water goes through your filter or you can turn the valve in the opposite direction so the dirty water goes to waste and bypasses your filter, this is very helpful when vacuuming or for heavy spring clean up.

Do you recommend this filter for 1Hp. Motor, 18,000 gallons in ground pool. Replacing my old Hayward DE gilter.

Roberto- I would not recommend this filter for your pool. Your pump is, more than likely, too strong for you to use the Perflex DE Filter EC50AC. I would recommend the EC75A. It has a higher flow rating (100 gpm).

If my pump is pushing 75 GPM, would the es50ac be able to handle it?
Reply
AN EC50AC has a maximum suggest gallon per minute flow rating of 50. For that size pump, I would suggest an EC75A wich is rated at 80GPM.

we need the diaphragm or gasket that holds pressure in filter when you bump it

What would cause the pump to blow algae back into the pool after it has been shut off for a while and then turned back on?

Mike, I would recommend inspecting the large gasket, d.e. fingers and the gaskets on the bump shaft assembly.
