The Hayward Thrust Washer for the Perflex EC30, EC40, and EC50 series is a specialized low-friction shim designed to support the mechanical movement of the bumping mechanism within the filter head assembly. Manufactured from a durable, self-lubricating polymer or corrosion-resistant composite, this flat, ring-shaped component is positioned on the bump shaft to reduce wear between rotating or sliding parts. Its primary mechanical function is to absorb axial loads and prevent direct metal-on-plastic or metal-on-metal contact when the operator engages the bump handle, ensuring the vertical movement remains smooth and consistent. By providing a stable bearing surface, the thrust washer protects the more expensive filter head and shaft components from premature galling or structural thinning caused by repetitive friction. It is engineered to maintain its dimensional stability while submerged in chemically treated pool water and is highly resistant to the abrasive nature of diatomaceous earth. For shipping and logistical purposes, the estimated weight of the Hayward Thrust Washer for EC30/40/50 models is approximately 0.05 pounds in its retail protective packaging, while the actual dry weight of the individual washer is roughly 0.02 pounds.
