Hayward ECX1040 Perflex D.E. Filter Bump Handle Assembly
The Hayward ECX1040 is a genuine OEM replacement bump-handle assembly for Perflex series D.E. filters.

Key Features
- OEM replacement handle — designed specifically for Hayward Perflex D.E. filter models.
- Made from durable Noryl plastic for long-lasting performance in pool environments.
- Comes as a complete kit — includes the handle grip, pivot pin, shoulder screw, and nut for installation.
- Length approx. 15½ inches — compatible with filter tank designs for easy installation.
- Restores the manual “bump” feature to D.E. filters, helping loosen trapped debris and prolong filter life between cleanings.

Application & Maintenance
Use ECX1040 to restore or replace a worn or missing bump handle on compatible Hayward Perflex filters. When installed, you can periodically “bump” the filter to loosen the D.E. powder cake and trapped debris — helping maintain flow and filtration efficiency without a full deep-clean. During installation or replacement, ensure the pivot pin, screw, and nut are properly secured for safe, reliable operation. Inspect the assembly annually to confirm hardware stays tight and the handle operates smoothly.
