Never a fun thing to hear your filter needs replacing but this made it easy. My previous filter was almost 20 years old same basic model and brand hoping this one last me another 20.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THIS SAND FILTER AND OUR PREVIOUS CARTRIDGE FILTER IS LIKE NIGHT AND DAY
Reviewed in the United States on July 4, 2015
We have a 16x40 inground fiberglass pool with a deep end. We bought this sand filter to replace a cartridge filter that wasn't even 4 years old yet, but making a LOT of work for me. I was constantly having to lug out the big cartridge, haul it to the grass and hose it down. If I didn't stay on this task religiously (once a week), the pool would first turn cloudy, then go green with almost no warning. I can not believe how crystal clear my pool is and how much EASIER maintenance has become with our new sand filter.

PROS: Backwashing is a very simple task. Additionally, we had our installer add a hose/pipe that goes under ground and then back up and out to spray the backwash to eliminate one step of attaching a hose. Between cutting down the time I spend attending to the filter and also the results I see in the pool, the difference between this sand filter and our cartrdge filter is remarkable. We have a sparkling clean pool with much less work involved in maintaining it.

CONS: It was not fun investing in a brand new filter when our "old" one was less than 4 years old, but it was totally worth it...and has nothing to do with my new product or its performance....just the only bummer I could think of!

WOULD I BUY AGAIN? Without a doubt! I stalled for a few years just because I couldn't see reinvesting in something after such a short time. However, I think this new filter will actually pay for itself after it's first summer or two of use due to the savings we will be getting from a much more efficient filtering system and putting less work on my pump. I could not be more pleased with this purchase. I've included pictures that show my setup.

SEPTEMBER 7th (Labor Day) AMMENDMENT: Now that we have reached the end of our first full summer with this filter, I can confidently say this purchase was an excellent decision as far as our pool is concerned. In the 4 years of owning our pool, it has never been so clean AND required significantly less maintenance and attention than years past. There was only one super hot week where I was overdue for a shock and the pool teased me with a bit of cloudiness that, in years past, led to an angry, green pool (like I said, that was only due to my own laziness since I've been so spoiled with this new filter). I super shocked it that night to find a perfectly clear pool again in the morning. Final thoughts: I would not hesitate for a second to buy this filter all over again.
