Description
The Hayward Complete Noryl Bump Handle (ECX1040) is the OEM replacement bump handle for Perflex Extended-Cycle DE filters, restoring the manual backwash function that keeps your filter running at peak efficiency.
What It Does
The bump handle connects to the bump shaft assembly on Perflex DE filters, allowing you to manually redistribute DE filter media inside the filter body. Actuating the handle dislodges spent DE powder from the flex tubes and recoats them with fresh media extending filter cycles without a full backwash. Constructed from Noryl, a glass-reinforced thermoplastic resin known for its dimensional stability and chemical resistance in pool water environments.

Poolaroo Pro Tip
Before replacing the bump handle, inspect the bump shaft and O-ring at the base of the assembly. A worn shaft O-ring is a common source of air leaks on Perflex filters and is inexpensive to replace at the same time. If the handle was difficult to actuate prior to failure, check the bump shaft for scoring or debris buildup before reinstalling the new handle.
