between 5-10 years

The wear out parts- O rings, gauges, air relief systems, and Cartridge filter elements all need to be checked annually.
How does Hayward Perflex filter work?

What size filtration system do I need for my pool?
The filter flow rate must be rated at least the same GPM as your pump, or higher. With pool filters, it’s best to err on the larger size so it can handle the power of your pump. A helpful rule of thumb is to choose a filter with at least 1 square foot per 10,000 gallons pool capacity.
What happens if not enough DE in filter?
If you do not add enough DE to your filter, then the grids are not totally coated with DE and the dirt that goes into your filter will attach itself right to the fabric on the grids and will not backwash off. This will cause your filter to short cycle (go very short times between backwashing).
How often should I change the de in my pool filter?
DE (Diatomaceous Earth) filters should be cleaned with special products at least once every season. Perform a complete cleaning and inspection yearly. Check the pressure gauge to figure out when it’s time to backwash; the more debris is in your filter, the higher the pressure will be.
