If this part is damaged or missing, would it cause earth to release back into the pool?

The Flow Controller (ECX1055) if it is missing or damage will not cause D.E. to get back into the pool. You may have a damage DE Flex Tube, Tube Sheet or diaphragm.

What does the flow controller do? We just purchased a new filter and did not put this part in when assembling, do we need to take it apart and put part in or can it be used without it?

Hi Penny, The Flow Controller controls the water pressure flow going into the filter, I will recommend installing it mainly for backwashing purposes.

I have a new Hayward EC 45 earth filter with a 11/2 hp pump motor, the filter is putting earth back in the pool, I have had it apart 2 times and can't see any tears or cracks in the diaphragm, filter elements or the tube sheets. I did not have the flow controller in the inlet. My question is can the pump be sized to big for the filter and be pushing the earth through the filter elements.

Hi David, It's possible but can't say with a 100% certainty. You can contact Hayward directly at 908-355-7995 to troubleshoot this issue.

I would like to replace the check valve in my perflex ec 40 de filter, how do I remove the flow restrictor?

Kate, The flow restrictor simply sits in front of the check valve. It is not attached to it,
