Product details
The Hayward ECX1263 is the platform base for Hayward Perflex EC65A and EC75A DE filters, the molded base the filter and pump sit on. Hayward lists it as Platform Base, and it is the Brand OEM part.
What it does
Hayward builds a Perflex system by combining the filter and a pump on one strong, molded mounting base, and its manual tells you to set that mounting platform level. The base carries the loaded weight of the filter and the pump through every season of sun and freeze. Once it cracks or splays, the tank stops sitting level and the plumbing joints above it take the strain.
Fit
The EC65A and EC75A owner manual lists ECX1263 as the single Platform Base, ref 36, for both filters. Hayward rates the EC65A at 27 square feet with 6 pounds of DE and the EC75A at 40 square feet with 7 pounds. Hayward lists the EC65A as the replacement for the earlier EC65, so check the older unit against the manual parts diagram before you order.
What is included
The base alone. The pump mounting screw set, ECX1161Z2, and the filter body are separate parts. Replacing a cracked base saves a filter whose tank and internals are still good.
