Perflex™ Extended Cycle Filtration System General Information Introduction This manual contains information for the proper installation and operation of the Hayward® Perflex™ Filtration System. All Perflex™ Filtration models are high performance, above-ground swimming pool filters. Instructions in this manual MUST be followed precisely. The Hayward Perflex System is a high performance swimming pool filter system having an output rating of 3,000 gallons (11 KL) per hour. Manufactured from durable, corrosion-proof materials, the filter and pump are combined on a strong, molded mounting base. The system is designed for continuous operation and for installation below the pool water line. It may be used on fresh or salt-water swimming pools. The Perflex Filter System uses diatomite filter powder (commonly called D.E.). D.E. is the most efficient dirt remover known for swimming pool filtration. It is normally fed into the system through the skimmer when the filter is initially started; then drained from the filter when it can no longer efficiently remove dirt from the water. The Hayward Perflex D.E. filter provides the deepest, most comprehensive clean, removing microscopic dust and pollen as small as one micron - 100 times smaller than a grain of salt. It takes care of debris the first time through, so you can run it fewer hours per day. Patented Flex-Tubes™ make the Hayward Perflex D.E. filter unique. D.E. filter powder coats the tubes and traps dirt and impurities as they pass through the filter. When the accumulated dirt builds up pressure and decreases the flow, conventional filters require backwashing. But with the Hayward Perflex D.E. filter, simply move the unique "Bump" handle up and down a few times to automatically activate the Flex-Tubes, repositioning the dirt and D.E. within the filter and extending the filter cycle. When the filter powder is totally used, the "Bump" action makes it possible to drain the used diatomite without backwashing or dismantling the filter. The Power-Flo Matrix™ Pump Series has been engineered as a uniquely superior above-ground pool pump. With the single push of a button, this truly versatile pump changes from a vertical to a horizontal discharge and back again. It's large profile and integrated styling makes the Power-Flo Matrix a swimming pool pump like no other. It is driven by a heavy duty motor, which is electronically isolated and insulated from the pool water. Output pressure and flow are tuned to the filter, resulting in a perfectly balanced, non-corrosive system.
