The manual says that a diverter valve can be installed for vacuuming to waste during heavy spring clean up or pulling rain water out of the pool. Where would it be installed? Do you sell this valve?
Reply
Yes we do carry this diverter valve which you may view or purchase through this link http://www.inyopools.com/Products/07501352023400.htm This valve has 3 ports on it, the valve would screw into the disharge side of your pump and you can have the handle turned so the return water goes through your filter or you can turn the valve in the opposite direction so the dirty water goes to waste and bypasses your filter, this is very helpful when vacuuming or for heavy spring clean up.

Can this pool filter be used for above ground pools or is it strictly used for in ground pools?
Reply
Yes, you can use an EC75 on an above ground. It would be over sized depending on the size of the pool.

How do you clean this filter????

Lee, To clean the filter, you must turn off the pump then bump the handle up and down to shake the d.e. off of the fingers. After a few "bumps", you would open the shut off valve to flush everything out of the filter. You would repeat this process until the water runs clear.

I want to replace my EC 65 Filter but I notice only EC 65A. What is the difference? I want to be able to replace without having to do any major plumbing.
Reply
The EC65 and EC65A are the same filter. I can find no information with differences between the two. You would not need to change your plumbing when installing the EC65A.

I am a homeowner and would like to purchase a new filter for my in-ground pool. I currently have the Hayward Perflex Extended Cycle D.E. Model EC65A. I found this product on your page but was wondering if in comes with everything needed to install or do I need to purchase additional parts. Thank you.

That will come with what you need to install that filter.

I have the EC65 and was wondering if there is a separation tank that I can hook up to this model. I purchased a house with a pool two years ago and I really don't want to backwash over the lawn like the pervious homeowners did.

Hi, Christina. You can install a separation tank like the Hayward C9002SEP model on your pool system depending on how it is setup. Please reference the Hayward Filters C9002SEP Manual for additional info.

I have the Hayward Model EC65A which has 12 or so screws on the top which you need to unscrew to access the filter's fingers. I looks like this model has the same type of assembly. Isn't there a model that you simply unclamp to access the inside of the filter?

We have an EC 65 below ground pool filter and I am wondering if we can purchase just top half with fingers and bump handle?

Hi, Richard. It will be cheaper if you replace the entire filter versus the Nest Assembly and the lid.

My ec65 canister has several cracks, is there a place to buy just the outside shell?

what is the difference between the EC65 & EC65A
Reply
Hi, Edward. They are no major difference between the models. The EC65 model is sold as a package with a pump and the EC65A is sold as a stand-alone system.

Currently have a Pac Fab Nautilus NS36 filter, what is the recommended DE replacement? Or, should I look at a cartridge model? Thank you for your response.

Hi Martin, these two filters are the same. The "W3" is merely the online retail model number for the same filter.
