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.

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.
