    New Hayward Sand Filter

    So I'm looking for a new sand filter for my AG pool after the last one cracked. My local pool store quoted me $700+ for a S180TPAKS. I noticed on Amazon there's a S180T for $380. In the model comparison on Amazon it lists a S180T and a S180TPAKS but the specs are identical. I went to the...
