Hello,
My pool wasn't as clear as it has been in previous years and I believe I broke my cartridge filter over the winter due to me forgetting to drain the filter unit. I took it apart yesterday and many fans look damaged. My current filter is a Starite PLM150, I found the replacement cartridge but the cost on this is quite high.
Looking around I found another filter unit (Hayward CC150CAN XStream) which is about the same cost as just the cartridge for the PLM150, on top of that the filter replacement unit on the Hayward is about 1/3 the cost of the Starite.
My question was is there a difference in units themselves in terms of one being better for filtration that would explain the significant price difference? I am trying to decide if it is better to replace the cartridge in the Starite or just go with an entire new filter unit, saving me money in the long run.
Thanks for the help.
