No better system, May 20, 2009
By MrSato from Los Angeles, CA

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, August 22, 2007
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."
