1) Quick delivery 2) No damage 3) Easy installation 4) Perfect replacement fit for old Hayward filter 5) Out of box ready to install, took 15 min 6) Came with full complement of filter elements 7) Plug and play to existing Hayward backwash valve 8) Price was higher than knock off, but worth every penny

Replaced my 30 year old Hayward DE filter (worn out grids, time to replace the entire system). Remove replace in 45 minutes. Simply attached it to my Hayward backflush valve, even used same O-rings but with fresh lube. Loaded it with DE and has a working pressure of about 5lbs @ 1750 RPM on the Hayward variable pump. Primed it at 2500RPM about 6 times to check for leaks at higher pressure and nothing. Will update after first backflush come late Spring. Shout out to reviewer who pointed out that cannister filter has reverse i/o ports. Initially wanted cannister but changed my mind later. Would have been really pissed if purchased cannister to then discover I would need to reverse my plumbing. Dodged a hefty and totally un-needed bullet there! And glad didn't have to deal with Hayward customer service because they are worthless (non-existent). Oh, and did come with Hayward OEM grids installed.

Easy to clean, filters the pool 100's better than a sand filter

As described. Longer than most cord gives you flexibility on placement. Perfect for my Halloween and Christmas decorations.

Installed right out of the box. Added DE to skimmer. DE started coming out of the jets. Still gave it a day to see if the water cleared up - it did not. Opened the lid and noticed the standpipe was cracked and looked like it had been attempted to be fixed. Ordered two months ago so I can't return. New standpipe is $80 😞

Works efficiently as it should, easy install replacement. The only negative was the pressure gauge came broken in pieces. Rest of the filter was fine. Because of that I could not give a five star..

I can't believe I ordered a rather large pool filter on Amazon and in just a few days, there it was at my doorstep! The vendor delivered on time, and the item functions as designed.

Well packaged and delivered on time. Replaced the same model and the installation was simple since all of the connections matched. Hayward products are so great to use!
