Quality

Most efficient filter, easy to use and maintain, just bump it daily

This was very easy to install , did it on my own , replaced my old filter which lasted years and was still working but wanted a new one .

The pump leaks, its clogged and wont back wash, the nest is cracked, the diaphragm is leaking, spit all the de into the pool.

(any film of moisture leftover, even from condensation, will freeze and crack those expensive plastic parts.

Price

Aftermarket parts available, and save some $.

Did exactly what we wanted and right price.

I now have a completely new filter for less than the cost of the replacement parts to fix the old one.

Had find it too expensive for the trouble .

This was amazing-shipped a couple hours after ordered.

Came 2 days early during a holiday weekend.

It arrived in md 2 days early from a firm in tenn.

Well packaged in a sturdy box: no damage.

Came with the drain 2-way ball valve, plus a deluxe pressure gauge, teflon tape roll, and instructions (see photo).
