Great price

So far so good, fit well as expected and working fine. Too early to say how long they will last but they seem to be good quality and not too pricey.

I WAS UNABLE PREVIOUSLY TO GIVE A COMPLETE REVIEW OF THIS ITEM BECAUSE IT HAD NOT YET ARRIVED, THE PRODUCTS HAS ARRIVED AND AS PROMISED I WILL NOW GIVE A FULL REVIEW. I AM COMPLETELY HAPPY WITH THIS ITEM, THE QUALITY IS MUCH SUPERIOR TO OTHERS I HAVE PURCHASED FROM A DIFFERENT SOURCE, THE PRICE IS VERY GOOD ALSO. THE PREVIOUS PRODUCT WHICH I PURCHASED ELSEWHERE DID NOT TO BE NEARLY AS WELL CONSTRUCTED, THE FILTERS WERE NOT AS STURDY AND THE BANDS WHICH ARE SPACED ABOUT EVERY 10 OR SO INCHES WHICH HOLD THE FILTER IN PLACE WERE NOT ANY COMPARISON TO THE STRENGTH AS THESE APPEAR TO BE. THE BANDS SEEM TO BE WHAT WILL DETERMINE HOW LONG THESE FILTERS WILL LAST OVER TIME. I WILL CERTAINLY RETURN TO THIS PROVIDER FOR MY NEXT REPLACEMENT FILTERS.

Not very high quality, but for the price they seem to be doing the job quite well as my pool is pretty clean and clear now. Should last for a few years and it's all I would really ask of them. They look like slight factory rejects as some of the pleats aren't spaced evenly in the end molds which might make more debris collect there, but hey they should do the job for now.

Probably should have already changed these on my inground pool. Seem to be OEM quality at a reduced price. Works great! I guess time will tell if Hayward Brand would have lasted longer.

We live in the low desert and therefore have to put up with sand, lots of it. We bought these replacements 2 years ago and in the process of replacing them again. They fit perfectly, lasted maybe longer than they should despite the sandy environment. I said maybe because I don’t remember our pool guy telling us he cleaned them. Noting the press was high I decided to clean them myself and they were dirty. Very dirty. So I decided to buy them again except the price went up considerably. I was happy with them but will continue to try other brand that are least expensive,

I got these to replace the original filters that came with my Hayward C3030 filter that I bought 4 years ago. Those filters had started to split at the blue end caps and were allowing dirty water back into the pool, reducing the filtration. These new ones did the same thing, but not because the end caps were split. All 4 had the same issue, where the opening on each end was about 1/32" to 1/16" too big. When I installed them, they sat too easily against the base plate (which has mods to fit into each filter). This caused them to flop around as I installed all 4 and got residue from the O rings onto the top part of the filter material. Likewise, when I put on the top piece, it fit loosely over all 4 filters. This resulted in some dirty water getting back into the pool. I suspect the machining process for the end caps got off slightly and no one in their Quality control group caught it, since all 4 filters had the exact same issue.I requested a return from Amazon and ordered a set of more well known brand filters. These Unicel filters fit like i have always sen in the past. They required a slight push to seat them on the base plate, they sat firm while I installed all 4, and the top piece required a slight push as well to seat on the filters. Totally worth the extra $10 for filters that fit and work better. I am sure the defect in the Guardian Brand impacted a lot of filters sold around that time as all 4 were exactly the same. I am not sure how often Quality Control checks their work but multiple runs of this filter size probably have the same issue.

My pool servicer recommended this brand and because we need 4 this was the best price. Pool looks great now.
