However the reason its 4 and not 5star is the red release lock on the handle does not stay firmly in place

Hayward was awesome in that they replaced it but i had to pay 45 to ship it back to them

However i installed it 3 weeks ago and the vent valve has started leaking

Ive been unable to figure out how to contact the seller to get a replacement

The only two issues i had with the design is that the output pipe connection is much lower about 2 inches lower than the pentair pcx95 type filter i was replacing and the red ring lock is somewhat cheaply made it needed to be made out of a thicker piece of plastic so it actually keeps the ring from moving

The lock can easily be defeated if someone were to try to move the ring by hand and not squeeze the lock it just pops out of its detents

I had to make a custom 13 x 13 x 2 cinder block to go under the new filter so i could still use my previous output plumbing that goes to the pool
