1.製品オーバーview

The Hayward Perflex Extended-Cycle Diatomaceous Earth Pool Filter, model W3EC40AC, is designed to provide clear, sparkling water for above-ground, on-ground, and small in-ground pools. This filter utilizes exclusive Flex-Tube technology and diatomaceous earth (DE) as the filter media, known for its effectiveness in removing fine particles. The design aims for superior water clarity and extended filter cleaning cycles without the need for traditional backwashing.

• インストールやメンテナンスの手順が不明な場合は、資格のある専門家にご相談ください。

3. セットアップとインストール

Proper installation is crucial for the efficient and safe operation of your Hayward Perflex filter. Refer to the detailed installation guide provided with your product for specific diagrams and instructions. The following is a general overview:

3.1 サイトの選択

• Choose a level, solid base for the filter, preferably in a well-drained area.
• Ensure adequate clearance around the filter for maintenance and service (refer to specifications for required clearance).
• Position the filter to minimize plumbing runs and ensure easy access to controls.

3.2配管接続

• プールポンプの排出口をフィルターの入口ポートに接続します。
• フィルターの出口ポートをプールの戻りラインに接続します。
• 適切な配管継手とシーラントを使用して、確実に防水接続を行ってください。
• Install a pressure gauge on the filter to monitor operating pressure.

3.3電気接続

• Ensure all electrical connections for the pump are made by a qualified electrician and comply with local codes.
• ポンプは適切に接地する必要があります。

3.4 Initial Start-up and DE Charging

1. Ensure all plumbing connections are secure and the filter drain plug is closed.
2. Fill the pool to the proper operating level.
3. Open all suction and return valves.
4. フィルター上部のエアリリーフバルブを開きます。
5. Start the pump. Once a steady stream of water emerges from the air relief valve, close the valve.
6. With the pump running, slowly add the recommended amount of Diatomaceous Earth (DE) powder into the skimmer. Refer to the filter specifications for the correct DE quantity.
7. Allow the filter to run for several minutes to distribute the DE evenly over the Flex-Tubes.

4. 操作手順

Once installed and charged with DE, your Perflex filter is ready for operation. Monitor the pressure gauge and water clarity to ensure optimal performance.

4.1通常の操作

• The filter should operate with the pump running, circulating pool water through the DE media.
• Note the initial clean filter pressure reading on the pressure gauge. This is your baseline.
• The filter will remove microscopic particles, improving water clarity.

4.2 Extended-Cycle Filtration

The Perflex filter's Flex-Tube technology allows for extended cleaning cycles. As dirt accumulates on the DE, the pressure in the filter will gradually rise. Instead of immediate backwashing, the Perflex system allows for "bumping" to refresh the DE.

5. メンテナンス

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficiency of your Perflex filter. The primary maintenance task is cleaning the filter when the operating pressure rises.

5.1 When to Clean (Bump) the Filter

• Clean the filter when the pressure gauge reading rises 7-10 PSI above the initial clean filter pressure.
• Clean the filter if water clarity decreases significantly.

5.2 Cleaning Procedure (Bumping)

1. プールのポンプをオフにして、電源を外します。
2. フィルター上部のエアリリーフバルブを開きます。
3. Operate the "bump" handle (if equipped) or follow the specific instructions for your model to dislodge the DE from the Flex-Tubes. This action reuses the DE and dirt mixture to form new cleaning surfaces.
4. エア抜きバルブを閉じます。
5. ポンプを再起動します。
6. If the pressure remains high or water clarity does not improve after bumping, a full disassembly and cleaning of the Flex-Tube assembly may be required.

5.3 Disassembly and Full Cleaning

Periodically, or if bumping does not restore filter performance, a full cleaning of the internal components is necessary. The easy-to-access clamp assembly simplifies this process.

1. ポンプをオフにして電源を外します。
2. Open the air relief valve and drain the filter completely.
3. clを削除するamp assembly that secures the filter head to the tank.
4. Carefully lift the filter head and Flex-Tube assembly out of the tank.
5. Rinse the Flex-Tube assembly thoroughly with a garden hose to remove all DE and debris.
6. Inspect the Flex-Tubes for any damage or tears. Replace if necessary.
7. Clean the inside of the filter tank.
8. Reassemble the filter, ensuring the O-ring is clean and properly seated.
9. 安全な場所を確保するamp assembly firmly.
10. Recharge the filter with new DE as per the initial start-up procedure.
