Hayward DE BAG ASSY

The Hayward DE Bag Assembly is a specialized filtration component designed for use in Perflex extended-cycle D.E. filters, serving as the critical structural frame that supports the internal nest of "flex-tubes." Manufactured from high-strength, chemical-resistant engineering plastics, this assembly acts as a rigid housing that keeps the flexible tubes properly spaced and aligned to ensure maximum surface area for the diatomaceous earth coating. Its primary mechanical function is to facilitate the unique "bumping" action of the Perflex system, allowing the tubes to shift and shed their dirty D.E. cake without requiring backwashing, which significantly conserves water and chemicals. The assembly is built to withstand the constant hydraulic fluctuations and mechanical stresses of the bumping process, ensuring that the internal filtration nest remains stable and leak-free throughout the season. For shipping and logistical purposes, the estimated weight of the Hayward DE Bag Assembly is approximately 4.6 pounds in its retail protective packaging, while the actual dry weight of the assembly components themselves is roughly 3.9 pounds.
