The Hayward Perflex EC50AC (pictured) is a great Diatomaceous Earth pool filter. Great filter, great value, long lasting and highly efficient. Just by bumping occasionally, one charge of DE lasts me 5+ months. 1) There seems to be a lot of confusion between the EC50AC and the EC50 - the EC50AC has the better one piece clamp system utilizing a one-piece clamp, spring and single sleeve nut to remove the Filter Head for access to install a Bump Shaft Kit or replace the Diaphragm Gasket. 2) While this product is labeled as an "Above Ground DE Filter" is can be used in both Above Ground and In-Ground applications. The Pump is what makes it Above Ground or In-Ground. In-Ground pools require a self-priming pump and motor combination whereas Above Ground applications are self-priming.

Perfect replacement for my 10 year old Hayward filter, we were able to use our currant fittings! Saved $170.00 from local pool company, fast ship as well. Very Happy☺️ picture of old and the new filter

Circulates pool water very well. Easy to maintain is a big thing like on my last EC50 which was at least 15 years old. I would recommend a Wayward filter to anyone.

It was a Hayward Brand. Which is the most widely used and never had any issues with them.
