A worn or pinched gasket is often the root cause of leaks at the filter mid-seam, and addressing both in one service visit prevents a repeat teardown. Ensure the clamp is seated evenly around the full circumference of the tank before tightening to avoid uneven pressure distribution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- wft:processed:manual:2026-06-22 --\u003e","brand":"Hayward","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54303490408723,"sku":"ECX4000CHK","price":65.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0920\/0687\/5411\/files\/hayward-clamp-assembly-hardware-for-perflex-extended-cycle-de-filter-w3ec40ac-ecx4000chk.webp?v=1788399400","url":"https:\/\/poolaroo.com\/products\/hayward_ecx4000chk","provider":"Poolaroo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
