Quick overview

  • Genuine Hayward part Factory bump shaft ECX5000F, not an aftermarket copy.
  • Restores the bump action The shaft carries the handle movement down to the flex tube assembly, which is how a Perflex sheds its old D.E. coating.
  • 1-1/2 inch size This is the 1-1/2 inch shaft. Confirm the size on your filter before ordering.
  • Metal construction Made in metal, matching the original part.
  • Perflex D.E. filters Listed for Perflex models, with the source naming EC50AC and EC40AC in one place and EC50, EC50C, EC50A and EC50AC in another.
  • A bent shaft is a dead handle If bumping no longer moves the tubes, or the handle turns without resistance, the shaft is the usual cause.

Product details

The Hayward ECX5000F is the 1-1/2 inch bump shaft used in Perflex D.E. filters. It is the genuine Hayward part, made in metal like the original.

How a Perflex cleans itself

Perflex filters do not get backwashed the way a sand filter does. They get bumped. The handle on top of the tank drives this shaft, the shaft moves the flex tube assembly inside, and the shock knocks the spent D.E. coating off the tubes so it can settle and a fresh coat can be applied. Everything in that chain runs through the bump shaft.

The symptom

When the shaft bends, breaks or comes loose, the handle either moves with no resistance at all or moves without doing anything to the pressure. Owners often assume the tubes are blinded and start replacing them, when the shaft is what has actually failed.

Check the model before ordering

The sources here do not agree on the full fit list. The listing names the EC50AC and the EC40AC; the parts breakdown this shaft appears in covers the EC50, EC50C, EC50A and EC50AC. Match your filter model number and measure the old shaft rather than going by memory.

Questions and answers

What people ask about this product, answered by our pool techs.

Exactly which Perflex filters does this fit?
The listing names the EC50AC and EC40AC, while the parts breakdown it appears in covers the EC50, EC50C, EC50A and EC50AC. The two do not match on the EC40AC, so check your model number and the shaft length on the filter before you order.
What does a bump shaft do?
A Perflex is cleaned by bumping. The handle on top moves the shaft, the shaft shakes the flex tube assembly, and the used D.E. falls off the tubes so a fresh coat can be added.
How do I know mine has failed?
If the handle moves freely with no resistance, or you bump and pressure does not drop, the shaft is usually bent, broken or disconnected at one end.
Is it a genuine Hayward part?
Yes. It is Hayward OEM part ECX5000F.
