Product details
The Hayward ECX1251 is the flex tube nest for the Perflex EC65 DE filter, supplied as a complete assembly. It is the genuine Hayward part.
Why the nest matters
A Perflex filter works by holding a coat of diatomaceous earth on a bundle of flexible tubes. The tubes are not the filter medium themselves; they are the frame the DE clings to. Once a tube splits, DE finds the shortcut and ends up back in the pool, and no amount of bumping or recharging will hold a coat again.
Before you order
This nest is listed for the Perflex EC65, and Perflex parts are grouped for both the EC65 and the EC75. Read the model off the filter label and match it before buying, because the two sizes take different assemblies.
