    Pentair Triton II TR100 cracked...replace with same?

    My TR100 has cracked at the top and the leak is progressively getting worse. Not sure what caused the failure. The filter has a 2010 mfg date, which makes it 8 yrs old. We've been in the house for 6 years. My main question is do I replace it with the same filter, or should I look at other...

    First Test = Worst Fears Realized...

    Finally received my test kit in the mail today to perform my own testing. Bought our house in May, and just continued filling the puck floater that was in the pool expecting everything to stay smooth. Have now been battling cloudy water for several weeks. Glad to have found TFP...but I think my...
