Any preference on pleated filters? Any good deals?

[FrankFL]

I have a Hayward 90 sq feet pleated filter. Any good deal suggestions? Unicel, Pleatoco, Hayward? Any preference? The ones that I have bought at Lowes seem to get pretty bad fairly quickly. Thanks. :-D

Here is a recent thread for some information ... although should be taken with a grain of salt:

There are other discussions you can search for as well.

Generally the the 3 you mentioned are similar (in fact Hayward is likely a rebrand of one of the others).
