works great

Great filter, easy to install, good quality, I bought this for my 24 feet pool and i bought these filta balls instead of the sand, so far this work really good. 3 days and my pool past from green dirty water to cristal clean water.

I'd give this 10 stars if I could. Compared to the troublesome Hayward filters I've had, it's way better designed and manufactured. The standpipe is twice as heavy and the design of the laterals is smarter, heavier quality and easy to assemble. Most importantly it cannot leak at those connections as the hinging laterals do on the Haywards over time. Where the control head slides onto the standpipe they've addressed an issue that is another Hayward weakness where the standpipe assembly raises up over time in the sand choking off the water flow into the head. This can't happen on this Jacuzzi filter because there is a stop molded into where the standpipe fits. My pool water was cleared in less than a day with this new filter and it sure looks like it will last a long time. I vacuumed a lot of silt after the winter that passed through my safety cover. Normally I would have vacuumed it directly to waste but I wanted to see how effective this new Jacuzzi filter was. My pressure gauge only increased by 1 pound and the water going into the pool was still perfectly clear! With my old Hayward filter the water going back into the pool would have been a huge plume of brown water, the same as what went up the vacuum into the filter. I actually saved a lot of pool water that would have been wasted. The only con is that the connections to the filter are in different locations compared to the 21" Haywards I've had so the waste line and the return to pool line had to be re-plumbed to suit the new filter. A bit of work but well worth it.

GREAT SAND FILTER

Not a bad sand filter at all. Got it set up simple enough and the price was right!

easy to install and running no problem.
