Hi all
I've got a crack in my sand filter and need replacement.
I was given the below options from my 3 local pool shops and I'm after some advice.
I've done a bit of research but could not really tell them all apart and I wonder if I should go for the cheapest package.
I've also asked for an option to convert to cartridge filter, the main reasons being smaller footprint and higher filtration rate. Happy to hear critical feedback on conversion.
Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks
