About This Item
The Hayward Filter Head with Vent Valve in Platinum (ECX5000BP) is the OEM replacement filter head assembly for the Perflex Extended-Cycle DE Filter lines W3EC40AC and W3EC50AC.
This filter head serves as the top closure and primary access point for the Perflex filter tank, incorporating an integrated vent valve that allows trapped air to be released from the filter vessel during startup and backwash cycles. Replacing a cracked, warped, or leaking filter head restores a proper pressure seal and ensures the vent valve operates correctly to purge air from the system.

Poolaroo Pro Tip
When fitting the replacement filter head, inspect the tank-to-head O-ring or gasket sealing surface for any scoring or debris before reassembly. A clean, undamaged mating surface is essential for a leak-free seal at operating pressure. If the existing O-ring or gasket shows any cracking or deformation, replace it at the same time to avoid a repeat service call.
