  • Best filtering system.
Style: 1.5 HP (W3EC50C93S)
Can not go wrong with a Hayward DE filter and pump system. Pool water is easy to maintain with this filtering system.

  • A filter beyond
Style: 1.5 HP (W3EC50C93S)
The Hayward DE filter, motor and pump combo is awesome! The only criticism I have is I wish the connection union would have been included in the setup. After getting the union the rest of the setup was very easy. And the DE filter surpassed my expectations with the way it keeps my pool water clean and clear. And I also want to commend Amazon for a quick delivery and the box arrived in good condition. All in all, it has been a wonderful experience with this purchase. ... show more

  • WOW! Crystal Clear H2O
Absolutely the best filter I've seen in its class. This DE filter worked like magic/ removed microscopic particles, cleared the cloudy, messy haze in my pool water that my old filter could not, and is a decent value. Hayward engineers/staff designed and manufactured a superb (American) product; great customer service to back the product too. Purchased home w/ above ground 16'x32' (abt 4ft deep) pool that came with Sta-Rite cartridge filter. Previous owners did not cover pool for the winter - so wildlife and every leaf in the neighborhood took refuge in 'the swamp' - aka our new unusable pool. Opening the pool = a tale of woe...After purchasing an Aquabot, blasting the water with chemicals, evicting a family of toads, running the old filter with a new cartridge for abt THREE WEEKS 24x7 -- and washing/rinsing out the old filter at least a dozen times -- the water was still a cloudy haze (not to mention I lost abt ten pounds and an inordinate amt of time wrestling to repeatedly open/rinse the old pressure sealed filter chamber). Purchased the EC50 kit and in less than 48 hours and ten pounds of DE later (no exaggeration) the water was CRYSTAL clear <first five pounds of DE were back-washed aft approx 24 hrs and bumping/regenerating several times). I read other reviews and thought the 'three days' to clean water were a bit exaggerated -- sure enough, after doing the same exact things I had been doing before, the EC50AC yielded far superior results. The EC50C93S kit comes with all required parts out of the box - this kit was a much better deal/ value than buying the pieces a-la-carte (base, filter, pump, and misc plumbing parts + a pair of hoses w/ clamps). Word of caution -- the filter comes with a roll of plumbing (Teflon) tape --- somehow the brilliant minds that packed this kit shoved the Teflon tape into one of the filter orifices (the roll of tape was not visible) --- the instructions do not mention this detail (the set-up instructions are not very descriptive - Hayward could have done a much better job with the owner's manual) -- be careful -- DO NOT RUN YOUR FILTER until you REMOVE the (hidden) packed Teflon TAPE. *** EXTRA PARTS/ ACCESSORIES *** Purchasing two additional threaded 1.5" PVC ball valves and a few misc plumbing parts to connect your hoses(purchased from local plumbing store at a much cheaper price than equivalent parts avl online) helps tremendously when backwashing/ servicing the filter. You may also want to get a DE scoop (I picked one up at local pool store for abt $5 - also much cheaper than the DE scoops advertised online). Hayward tech support recommends replacing your DE <the white powder that goes into the filter> after 'bumping' or regenerating three times -- so it's a good idea to purchase the unit with a bag of DE that will meet your needs (I purchased a 25 lb bag which I expect will last this entire season). Am also considering purchasing/ hooking up the Hayward CL200 chlorinator; am interested in any comments/ user community feedback on that product... ... show more

  • Intex pool owners, get this! Not the Intex sand filter!!
I have had an Intex ultra frame pool (20ft x 52") for about 3 years. I bought the 2650 gpm Intex sand filter and used it successfully until this year. This year I just couldn't get the pool clear, I shocked the green/black pool until it turned white. Ran the sand filter 24-7. Back washed daily. The water just stayed milky white. I could only see about 4" down. I called a pool guy and he said get a DE filter. I read the reviews on this and without knowing if it would even connect up to an Intex pool I ordered it. I hooked it up, bought the DE sand and got it going. I was very concerned at first. After about an hour the flow slowed to a trickle. I bumped it. Half hour later it was a trickle. I talked to the local pool supply guy and he said "it's just that the thing is working better than you expected. Backwash the DE and put fresh in." I noticed I could see about 8" into the pool. I did what the guy said and had to do it a total of 3 times. Now on my 4th batch of de the pool is crystal clear and the pump is running great. This thing is amazing. So why 4 stars? There is no valving for waste water. There is one path only. So I rigged a valve between and can now pump to waste instead of the filter. There is no timer. There is a switch and you have to turn it off and on. It's a little delicate. Buy extra Teflon tape and don't over tighten. I imagine it's a pain if you crack the housing. Other tips. Forget the saltwater chlorinator. I've had them for 3 years also and between them corroding and replacing and trying to time the pump with the chlorinator, I gave up. Buy the 3" tabs and forget that thing. If your Intex pool is newer you know there is a little air gap on the valve on the side of the pool. This won't work with your new more powerful pump. It just starts sucking in air. I fortunately had an older version I could swap out that doesn't have that check valve. I'm not sure of a better solution. I ran the Hayward hose from the pool to the pump and the Intex hose from the filter back to the pool. You'll need to buy a hose clamp. Anyway, buy this without fear. It will work with you pool and its SO much better than a sand filter. ... show more
