Is this EC65A, the same as an EC65,(no A), from 30 years ago..I'm concerned it might be a little different and not line up with my inground plumbing.

I had no problems with the alignment when reinstalling the filter. I did however have a problem with DE coming out into the pool after bumping the filter down. This is a problem not yet resolved.

I would probably say yes. We had an older one that was hit by a tree, and we replaced it with this one. I did not see any difference in the position of the plumbing.

I had an EC65 strainer for 25 years. The original came with a black base and included a built in filter ,chlorinator and pump with motor. Purchased this filter to replace the old one and everything lined up just fine. The only difference was the color. The old one was white with brown cap on top

You could go to the website or call the manufacturer but my installer seems to remember reading somewhere that it was just a newer version of the EC65. We did not use the platform that can be purchased with it and we were replumbing anyway because I had a solar system that surrounded it and needed to be rerouted. The manual that came with it says nothing about compatibility but mentions a EC65AC which we assume is a newer version but we purchased 65A. Good luck!

It pretty much lined up. A few minor adjustments but no big deal.I had to unbolt the top of thr filter and turn it to match up with our pump.

My pool was installed in 1995 and this filter is the same as the original from that time period. It lined up perfectly.Hope this is some help

I just replaced My 1995 EC65 With the EC65A matched perfectly exact same filter and everything lined up exactly I only replaced Mine because it was cheaper than a new nest (inside parts)

It's been a while since I installed this, and we've since moved. I do believe that the broken one I replaced was the contractor model. I used the old drain, which worked fine. I believe there was something funky about the wiring, but it couldn't have been too bad, as I am not a mechanic...(See the idea about using a auto jack to hold the disposal in place while working with it.) My advice, if the price is good, would be to get it, take it our of the box and look at it. Amazon has been great with returns for me, when things don't work.

Yes, mine is the same year and model. I had to buy new o ring gaskets for the cross over tube from HD. The pipes sound good, just like a Harley is supposed to.

I changed out ours....the original was cheap and too narrow a flow. It was easy to change it over to a new one.

I purchased a EC65A and it connected just fine. Great prices on Amazon. All fitting fit perfect. Call your pool company and ask for sure but I think it is the same,

I replaced mine old one with this model few months ago. I had all existing pipes incoming and outgoing. All you have to do us buy some futtings, elbows, 45' and 90', couplings and pipes and you should be ok. Do not glue the pipes that connect to vaccume at both ends. You can glue other parts later. Hope this helps.

I do not know for certain, but I am guessing that the plumbing for RV toilets has not changed much in the last few decades. I would give it a shot and check that the base will match up. If per chance it does not, you can probably fabricate some type of adapter plate made of UHMW white plastic. If the base matches up, then the next task is to check if your existing water supply hose is long enough to fit the new model. I had to get an adapter extension for my installation. Best of luck.

It's so funny. I like this q&a thing. Idk I have has this happen before. Does there seem like there is less material in the tube as well and are the rubber washer things different. My guess is that it just is extremely old and things change in the tube. The company will send you a new one though if you call them and send it to them.

I think it is basically the same. both 35 gallons and same dimensions. They all do the same thing and are just different sizes and capacity but these look the same . Mine is working fine no problems and it was very easy to install. Just make sure it will fit in your well house.Good Luck

While this is only speculation, I think Hayward maybe in between design modes with its TCells. The new one's appearance, as far as graphics and logo, was different than the older one that was replaced. However the important things to be identical were. e.g. size of cell, plug fit, pipe thread pitch and operations. While mine has been in use for less than 3 months it has operated without problem.

Mine is the same as when I bought it a couple of years ago. No change. No leakage.

No I don't think so since I Have always used the Gardena fittings supplied. My old one is 20 years old and still fine.

It seems that the "A" is the same design but a newer model. However, reviews of the "A" model have said that the new darker plastic is giving a bad plastic taste to the water, thus, you are probably better going with the older model until they remedy the issue. HOWEVER, it seems this seller may be selling the new "A" model instead and just picturing the old one, so you would be wise to confirm which you are receiving or at least confirm if they will accept returns (for which you will probably have to pay return shipping)

Don't believe so, I had a plumber install it and it was a replacement for an old one the same size.

Yes. That may account for slight differences from the ones I bought 30 yrs. ago. This one is heavier and has a slight rim on the bottom. Otherwise is the same.

It worked for us just fine. It doesn't look the same as the original, as it is probably technically newer is design. The footprint and the hose connections are the same.

If the part numbers are the same they should be identical. This model used by many manufacturers. The only mod I had to make on my Whirlpool was in the water inlet guide. I had to reuse the old water spout guide as it come in from the back, not the side. Also you have to reuse the wire harness....both easy to accomplish
