BUMP MECH COVER EC-50 | ECX11156
Hayward BUMP SHAFT (ECX1110) Key component in Hayward D.E. (Diatomaceous Earth) filters, models EC65 and EC75. It is part of the bump handle assembly, which plays a critical role in maintaining the filter’s efficiency and extending the life of its grids.
- Grid Cleaning Mechanism:
- The bump shaft is connected to the handle, which agitates or “bumps” the D.E. filter grids.
- Bumping action loosens the debris and restores proper flow through the filter.
- Filter Maintenance:
- Using the bump handle and shaft, you can redistribute the diatomaceous earth (D.E.) on the grids.
- This process minimizes frequent backwashing or recharging the filter with fresh D.E.
- Durability:
- The bump shaft is designed to withstand repeated use and the forces exerted during the bumping prosses ensure consistent performance over time.
