It's a simple setup of a Pentair IntelliFlo and a Pentair SWG. Both are wired into a Power Center so the pump can tell the SWG when it's running and the salt production will only be on when the pump is running. Because of this though the pump thinks it's hooked up to automation. When I am out...

Well I ended up with a Polaris proper replacement. I'm going to watch to see how long it lasts compared with the generics and see if it was worth it. I'll report back sometime in the next 6 months to 3 years depending on how this goes.

Where is a good place to buy real parts and not fakes?

Does it matter or should I just buy whatever generics Amazon sells for $15 and be done with it? I do have some generics now but the zippers usually go bad after not very long. Is there anything better than that but is not a Polaris OEM? $25 a bag seems a bit steep for new, but are they twice...

All right, so if anyone is wondering everything showed up and I have the new Type VI filters on hand.. From left to right it's the original that came with the hot tub, the generic replacement off of Amazon, and the Clarathon replacement. The original still has the densest and most number of...

The measurements and part numbers all match so I ordered a set and will report back in a few days with a comparison when they arrive.

Looks like they do have a part that matches: https://spadepot.com/products/clarathon-filter-coleman-lay-z-spa-fc9957 Is this the same, of course the shape is going to be different and smaller I assume, as to what you are talking about?

I am looking online and there are dozens of clones of each other and they all seem to be the same garbage that eventually melt and fall apart in people's hot tubs. Do quality replacement Type VI filters exist or do I just get the trash and replace them on a very regular basis?

Nothing is moving right now. The impeller didn't budge when I first took it apart and the whole mechanism won't come out of the hole that it's in. I've tried pliers, knives, screw drivers, dowels, its stuck in there. At this point a new motor would fix it in 10 minutes but the motors are no...

403M. It's about 8 years old at this point. Everything I tried to find on it just says discontinued. Yup, the impeller is shot. I was able to get down into the motor and found it had snapped. I tried to remove the whole piece, it wasn't moving and looked like it has become corroded...
