Awesome Filter/Pump,

Pros: Filter cycle, pump, cleaning of pool
Cons: None so far.
"I had major issue with my pool water when opening this season. Unfortunatly I did not put the proper chemicals in and leafs got into the pool when closing in the winter. I opened the pool to brown water this spring. I purchased the Hayward Filter Cartridge Unit and pump and used it with no luck. Constant cleaning of cartridge and no results. I returned that filter and purchased this unit. After 8 hours of superclorinating my pool and running this filter my pool water is cystal clear. This DE filteris amazing. Note that if you see this product in a store for a cheaper price to look at the pump it comes with. I saw it for a 100 dollars cheaper in a local store but had a 1hp low end pump on it. The pump on this unit is from in the swim is high end."

Pros: Very econonical to use
Cons: none
"This filter systems saves electric use and cleans the water at very fast rate.I live in the country side with farms all around me. We have a lot of dirt in the air in mid summer with harvest season, but our D.E. filter keeps our water very clean. I only have to clean my filter once a month even with the dirty enviroment in July and August. This pump system has saved us money on electric and clean supplies."

Excellent Purchase,

Pros: Fast shipment, low prices, great quality.
"We bought this after getting a crack in our original DE filter. After some research, we noticed that our old pump could be applied to this Hayward filter and we know of people who have used Hayward and really liked it. The pump is working great, it shipped in no time at all, and I saved about $100 than if I were to buy the exact same one at a local pool supply store. But what really sold me was that I would be able to return it to In The Swim within 30 days if I found out it wouldn't work with my old pump, whereas the local store would not accept it if I tried it out. Way to go In The Swim!"

"I have delt with my local pool supplier for years not only there prices have gone threw the roof but the products i buy from them just dont work to my expectations.I was mailed a catelog from this site and to my surprize the prices were way lower than my local pool supplier.Not to mention all the products and supplies this site offered for my pool. So of course i said there is no way these prices are correct on this site there has to be a catch here so i put in a order for a filter for my above ground pool and the price was perfect plus they gave me 10% off with my purchase. Wow i was so happy that not only i was getting the filter i needed but the price and service from the operator was absolutly fantastic.They told me i would receive my filter within 5 days with FREE SHIPPING and in 5 days it was at my door.I put the pump on and started my new filter and it was better than the one that came with the pool.Do yourself a favor and buy from this site you will not regret it Thank You in the swim"

No better system,

Pros: works great, installs easily, decent prices, power efficient
Cons: can't think of any
"I actually pieced this system together as my old equipment failed, but in the end it is the same. This system is very energy efficient and yet does an excellent job of keeping the water clean. I mean crystal clear! I have a 12x24x4 pool and the pump puts out enough flow to keep a nice current flowing around the pool - this is essential to turn over the pool water in the time the pump runs. We had a kids' pool party recently and with a dozen kids it the pool it kept up and kept the water clear the whole time. Incredible. Our friends have an in-ground that is a larger and with the same number of kids, after a couple of hours the water was pretty cloudy. They have a sand filter. There is no better filtration system.
As a side note, we also bought a Hayward natural gas pool heater from intheswim.com and that completes our perfect setup!"

Excellent,

By Yanni
Pros: easy to use
Cons: none
"I added this as a prefilter to my cartridge filter, and my cartridges look brand new. It cleans better than I thought it would. It looks like I won't have to clean my cartridges for a long time. It does an excellent job of cleaning the water. I haven't even had to use the "bump" feature yet, so there is a lot of time before the need to clean. I sure like it."
