    I have a Pentair Posiclear 150 part number 160352 filter. I'm looking for replacement cartridges and everything seems to redirect to the Pentair Clean & Clear 150 cartridges. The filters themselves look more or less identical. Are the filters compatible?

    Opinions on Pentar vs Aqualcal Heat Pump/Chillers?
