hayward perflex fix or replace

[Jakebear]

I have a Hayward Perflex 75 which I disassemble at closing every year to clean.
I hang the finger assembly between some milk crates (high enough that the fingers are hanging free) then take a hose nozzle and systematically blow water backward through each finger. If there is a broken finger or a finger with a hole in it, the water will shoot out instead of flowing evenly all over.

After finding the bad ones simply replace it with a new one. They are sold 10 to a carton under part # ECX1031 or ECX1032 Depending on which filter you have.

I would rather fight than switch from my DE.

EDIT: Here's a link to the replacement parts page for your filter. http://www.haywardnet.com/products/r...fs/116-117.pdf
