Great helper to the filter,
June 16, 2009
By Travis
from Panama, NE
|
Pros: Helps "Pre-clean" water before going to filter
Cons: Increases chlorine use (If you put tabs in skimmer basket)
"I highly recommend these filters. You don't have to backwash as much when in place. I have noticed a higher "draw" on the 3" chlorine pucks (about 50% faster) but I put pucks in skimmer basket. No big deal but something to think about.
A+"

May 23, 2009
By Geoff

Pros: Does what it says it does, it traps the small stuff
Cons: Havent found one yet
"What can I say, this is a must have product. I live in an area with a lot of pollen and they trap it saving me from having to backwash my filter all the time."

November 27, 2008
By PrestonClubFan

|
Pros: Save on Backwashing, Water, Salt, Chemicals and Time!
"Filter Savers are a fast way to save yourself time and money. It eliminates back washing your DE or Cartridge filters at least by 1/2. They catch small stuff that will normally passes through your strainer basket. Thanks in the swim for offering us another great product at a bargain price!!"

A Must Use,
July 2, 2008
By tdpgh
from Pittsburgh,PA
|
Pros: Keeps pool filters working at peak performance
Cons: NONE
"I've been using these for 9 years and wouldn't start my filter (DE) without them. They last very long and keep all of the finer materials out of the filter. I recommend rinsing with a garden hose every couple of days and even hand washing with dish soap once a week. They last very long if you take care of them. One bag should last an entire season."

Truly a "must have" item for pool owners,
June 26, 2008
By Anonymous Reviewer
|
Pros: Cuts down on filter cleaning, keeps pool cleaner
Cons: Chlorine tabs eat the fabric
"This is truly a must have item for any pool owner. You'll be amazed at all the gunk that it collects, which you can then quickly rinse out. It has cut my filter cleaning by at least half, and when I do clean the filter, it's not caked up with gunk and debris, just fine particles and an occasional pine needle.
My pool guy had told me to put chlorine tabs in the skimmer basket rather than in a floater, but you can't do that with these as they'll eat the fabric quickly. Otherwise, I have had no problems with them lasting a long time.
You do need to keep an eye on them, as instructed, to make sure they don't get too clogged, as that will put a strain on your pump. But if they are getting clogged frequently, that's stuff that would have been getting caught in your filter otherwise, and it's much easier to get it out of these things than from the filter.
Such a great product, that I don't even mind too much that they are totally overpriced, like so many other pool products. It must cost all of a nickle to make a package of these things in China, but they're still worth the money for what they do."

By flandscaper
from Lehigh Acres, FL

Pros: Excellent and wonderful
Cons: NONE!!
"Catches all of that small gunk and you can clean it out before it goes through your system. We used one on the pool skimmer, and one at the pumps. Haven't checked that one yet. Don't think anything goit through the first one!!!

Great item,
August 29, 2007
By thumper
|
Pros: Removes all small particles and debri before reaching filter
Cons: Clogs easily if there is alot of pollen or particles
"This is a great product. It easily saves the amount of time you have to waste cleaning your filter every season. It probably cut mine changes in half. Unless I have a unusual amount of pollen or insects which might clog it up I just change it out once a day and rinse the dirty one off and just rotate them through a cycle. When they get to dirty just throw them in the washer and give them a quick wash. One packet has lasted me all season by doing this."

Wish I thought of this,
August 27, 2007
By Hpy2bsmlng
|
Pros: Huge time saver
Cons: Can't think of any at the moment
"Wish I had invented this! After you see all the debris that is collected, you know that your filter is not as clogged, less backwashing, less pressure washing the filter media, more time swimming."

Time Saver!,
August 23, 2007
By HotRodLisa
|
"Filter Savers are definately just that! At first I was alittle skeptical on how much they would help with the filtering system - WOW after the first 24 hours, I was absolutely amazed at the amount of debris that a filter saver catches that would normally pass through your skimmer basket and into the filter. Needless to say, having to rinse the filter saver out after a few days and after vaccuuming is definately less cumbersome than having to backflush the filter as often as I used to. Really big time saver in the end ! !"

Wonderful Product,
August 23, 2007
By Wrigley
|
Pros: Cut down on cleaning the filter system during the season
Cons: Hard to use during vacuuming
"This product would collect so much debri that would otherwise reach the filter allowing less times that I had to clean the filter during the season. They are also washable and reusable."
