Hayward Perflex EC40 D.E. Filter System

Keep your above-ground pool water pristine and crystal clear with the Hayward Perflex EC40 D.E. Filter System (Model: EC40C92STL). This complete, heavy-duty filtration package combines Hayward’s proven extended-cycle Diatomaceous Earth (D.E.) technology with a powerful, energy-efficient pump to deliver the finest water clarity possible for your pool.

Crystal-Clear D.E. Filtration

Unlike standard sand or cartridge filters, the Perflex EC40 utilizes Diatomaceous Earth to trap microscopic debris as small as 2 to 5 microns on the first pass. This system features Hayward's exclusive Bump Action mechanism, allowing you to instantly clean the internal filter fingers without backwashing—saving you time, water, and expensive pool chemicals.

High-Performance PowerFlo Matrix Pump

This system comes fully equipped with a 1.0 HP Hayward PowerFlo Matrix Pump, engineered engineered for durability and high-volume water flow. Designed specifically for the demands of above-ground pools, the pump features a heavy-duty, corrosion-proof housing and an extra-large strainer basket to collect leaves and large debris, minimizing maintenance frequency. Its optimized internal flow design ensures ultra-quiet operation and low energy consumption.

Secure Twist-Lock Plug & Electrical Spec

The "STL" designation means this system is equipped with a heavy-duty, 3-prong Twist-Lock plug (NEC compliant). This secure locking connector prevents accidental disconnections during pump operation, ensuring a stable, safe electrical connection to your dedicated pool receptacle.
