## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great filtration and build quality.
*by G***O on May 20, 2025*

This is the finest pool filter of its type available these days. The quality shines through in the superior construction, filter capability and ease of cleaning. The horizontal bands (lacking on other filters) provide overall stability, especially when cleaning; helping to improve the longevity of the filter medium. Easy to clean, excellent filtration capability and long lasting. Obviously, I like this product and I’m sure you will too. Be sure to get the right model filter for your needs.Hope this helps, a clean pool awaits!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Top quality filter
*by K***S on April 3, 2025*

I bought a knock off, trying to save money and all that did was cause me to have to buy a filter sooner - lesson learned - I’m keeping with the good one - this one

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Won't last forever, but a best buy for the $  PLEASE READ MY TIP at beginning of review
*by M***M on June 20, 2013*

My review for the cartridge follows this little tip. If you have a pool that uses a cartridge filter you have to try this. Believe me, you're going to love it.---- SAVE TONS of time cleaning the cartridge. Have a cleaner pool. Prolong the life of your cartridge and save money ----I'm now using disposable hairnets in our skimmer basket. Get them here....http://amzn.com/B004E2MCNI(even read the reviews on that product page, I'm not the only one that is having success)The expensive cartridge is staying virtually debris free. The hairnet acts as the first line of defense, getting stuff the skimmer basket does not - Hair, Bugs, sand and dirt when vacuuming. The hairnets come in a 100 pack for $8.86 ($0.09 each) and are disposable. I change it daily or every other day.Before discovering these hairnets for the skimmer basket, I was cleaning the cartridge with a hose 4 times a week. Now I clean the cartridge just once a month. What a HUGE time saver. And my cartridge lasts twice as long.Good luck.*******HERE IS MY ORIGINAL REVIEW on the UNICEL CARTRIDGE:Michigan pool season: Mid-May to mid-SeptThe company we bought the pool from said the Hayward filter would last for 3-5 years. It may have, but it was almost impossible to clean because small debris built up deep in the pleats . We got a summer and a half out of it before frustration in its cleaning set in.As a replacement, I bought this Unicel in 2013. Worked great through the end of the summer. Used it again this spring. Like the Hayward, it can only be cleaned so many times before the junk begins to build up deep in the pleats, especially the cottonwood fuzz. We could buy the Hayward and pay the extra money but it really won't last much longer and, as with this model, gets more difficult to clean as time goes on.I just buy one every year and install it mid-June (or after the cottonwood is down). Having a new one each year cuts down on aggravation of low pressure with the filter and having to clean the unit multiple times per week.In my opinion, it's the best bang for the buck.----Edit to original post----Fig'd I'd post the price history. I've bought 4 so far. I have noticed it approaching $50 in early fall.6/20/13 purchased at $775/21/14 purchased at $676/2/14 purchased at $59 (started using hair nets)6/2/15 $59 (didn't purchase, cartridge still clean because of hairnets)5/21/17 purchase at $59.996/19/18 purchase price $68.00
