Style: 1 HP (W3EC40C92S)
I honestly didn't realize just how much I was compromising on water clarity until I hooked up this absolute powerhouse of a system. Moving from a standard sand filter to this Diatomaceous Earth (DE) setup felt like upgrading from a fuzzy standard-definition TV to crisp 4K resolution; the difference in the water sparkle is that dramatic. The magic really lies in the DE filtration capabilities, which trap particles as small as two microns—far smaller than what the naked eye can see. Since installing the W3EC40C92S, my above-ground pool doesn't just look clean; it looks like polished glass. The water has this brilliant, jewel-like quality that I simply couldn't achieve with my previous equipment, no matter how many chemicals I dumped in. It filters out the tiniest algae spores and dust that usually make the water look dull, leaving me with a swimming environment that feels genuinely pristine. The "bump" feature is easily my favorite aspect of this Hayward Perflex design, and it completely changes the maintenance game. Instead of dealing with the messy, water-wasting process of backwashing that drains hundreds of gallons out of the pool, I just grab the handle on top and give it a few firm bumps. This action shakes the DE powder off the flexible tubes inside and redistributes it, effectively regenerating the filter cycle without losing a drop of water or chemically treated heat. It is incredibly satisfying to see the pressure gauge drop back down instantly after a quick bump session. This efficiency means I am spending significantly less time fussing with hoses and valves and more time actually floating around enjoying the water. Plus, saving that treated water is a massive bonus for my wallet and the environment. Performance-wise, the 1 HP PowerFlo Matrix pump that comes with this system is a total workhorse. It provides a robust flow rate that circulates the entire volume of the pool with authority, ensuring that dead spots are eliminated and the skimmer action remains vigorous. I was initially concerned that a 1 HP motor might be loud or energy-hungry, but it runs with a surprisingly smooth hum that doesn't disrupt our backyard hangouts. The synergy between the pump and the filter tank is evident; they are perfectly matched to handle the resistance of the DE while maintaining strong turnover. The industrial-grade construction of the tank gives me a lot of confidence, too—it feels solid, heavy-duty, and ready to withstand years of sun exposure and pressure without flinching. Setting everything up was straightforward, and I appreciated the modular nature of the system which made it easy to position near the pool. Once I added the initial scoop of DE powder through the skimmer, the system primed quickly and went to work immediately. It is rare to find a piece of pool equipment that delivers such immediate gratification, but this system proves its worth within the first few hours of operation. If you are tired of hazy water and want that professional-grade sparkle with significantly less maintenance hassle, this Perflex system is hands down the best investment for an above-ground setup. It transforms the pool from a chore into the backyard oasis it was always meant to be.

This pump is wonderful. The water pressure leaving the pump is astonishing and there has been no need to pump the handle in 2 weeks. My pool water is immaculate, just the way I like it. I did have a minor defect that needed to be addressed. There was no problem with the pump, but one of the hoses that connects the pump to the pool had a pin-prick hole that started shooting a 3-foot arc of mist everywhere. It took 17 days to get a replacement hose, but the problem is solved and working well.

We ordered this pump system and discovered while installing one of the hoses had a big crack in it. To purchase replacement hoses specific to this pump was $82. In the Swim Pool Supplies responded quickly and sent the replacement hoses. It was a bit of a run around at first between the seller and manufacturer, but the seller stood up and took care of the issue. We were very appreciative and now our pool water is absolutely amazing!

We ordered this system as a replacement to our older unit that lasted 8 plus years. The plastic parts just wore out. Assuming this new system would be the same quality we didn't hesitate in ordering. We ordered it on 6/3/24 it didn't arrive until 6/11/24. We were in the process of repairing the pool liner so we didn't install this new system until 6/30/24, which we recorded with the warrantee registration. As soon as we installed the system, it started leaking from the top. Mind you we have had this same system previously so we knew how to connect everything. Upon investigation we found that the gasket was not the same as the old unit had, it was thinner and white in color instead of the thicker black gasket the previous unit had. (If you look at replacement parts the gasket is the black thicker one like the old system had. )The clamps that compress the top assembly didn't fit properly leaving a space instead of the compression the old unit had. The leak became greater until we saw water spraying up into the air when the pool came on in the morning! We contacted Hayward on 7/26/24, but they were closed, so we contacted them on Monday, to let them know the clamp assembly and the diaphragm gasket was defective. They referred us to In The Swim since they sold the system to us. In The Swim has refused to cover the defective parts saying it has been over a month . I told them the system wasn't installed until 6/30. They either don't believe us or ??? . We are still waiting to hear from Hayward. Our solution to the leak is to use C-Clamps. We realize that In The Swim didn't manufacture the system, but it is their warrantee that they are not honoring.

Been struggling for several years with the filter we had previously. Decided to replace it this year- good investment! My pool has been crystal clear since we opened it!! Easy to backwash & bump to improve pressure. Sorry we waited so long… I have 15,000 gallon pool using DE & chlorine powder

Works great! My 22’ x 54” above ground pool is crystal clear overnight. I added 2 returns with 3/4 eyes. The flow makes a constant whirlpool when running. Another must have is the skimmer add on.

The filter is for above ground pool. The quality of the filter is very cheap the item is not valued over $800.00, what I paid for. I still didn’t try the pump and hoping Hayward will help us. I’m a very unhappy customer how Amazon took care of this situation. Forget your policy 30 days. This is a very expensive item. I’m going to cut back on orders from Amazon for not taking care of a good customer.
