Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The filter itself is relatively simple to install, you just need to do a lot of cutting and refitting of pipes. Add enough to cover (a) the laterals & (b) the drain cap. This is a great opportunity to see if you have a leak at the drains. Just mak... Read More

Cons

The blow molder seems to be a bad part. The multipart handle is loose on that one. Then both sides. Then spraying everything.

Water started shooting through a pinhole size spot on the top seem. Seam split is real and is not repairable.

Second filter that has leaked from the seam. Seems once the warranty expires so the tank.

Box had been opened enroute as evidenced by a shoddy retaping job. Says there is a 20% restock fee. Looking for a refund, but not optimistic.

Quality

We have had several 100 degree days, and keeping the chlorine and ph levels correct allows this filter to do the job efficiently.

It was super easy to set up and works perfectly

Worked fine---it was installed in less than 2 hours

Our old sand filter had a hole worn in it after 13 years of use.

Price

My total investment, including installation and additional materials, approached $1,000.

I know we are supposed to purchase things locally but not with a $400.

I wanted a video in the event i needed to return this item that costed us roughly $547 after taxes (keep in mind, prices may di... Read More

00 mark up for the same product!

Shipping

New filter arrive on time and as promised.

So, with respect to shipping, i rate this as 5-stars (as to be expected with amazon shipping).

I had to pay for shipping to return it.

, early evening 12 may 2021 with a projected delivery of 18-21 may 2021.

Packaging/appearance

We did a personal video (not included in this review) because the box was indeed opened and re-taped (something i have read on ... Read More

Was just dropped off, i unpacked and broken base.

Note: i thought the sight glass was missing, but it was inside the box.

I (dad) will ask the local pool store about this part, but for now i will give the unboxing of the hayward ws270t a 5-star.

Competitiveness

I had a cheaper brand sand filter on before this one and couldn't get my water anywhere close to right.

Hayward's customer service directed me to local pool suppliers, but i found the pricing steep compared to diy options.

My water seemed clear before but no comparison to this one.
