Does anyone have any experience with Pool Pure or Future Way replacement cartridges. When we installed the pool almost five years ago we used OEM Hayward filters. They have been great. Obviously the off-brand filters are much less expensive. I've often found you get what you pay for, and I can't really complain about getting 5 years out of the Haywards before they started falling apart, but just thought it might be worth asking about these brands because they get good reviews on Amazon. Thanks!
 
I don't trust anything made around 5 years ago further than I can throw it. Everything, and I mean *everything* was rushed out to keep the shelves stocked during the shortages. Many companies proved people would still buy XYZ even with abysmal quality control, and even at jacked up prices. I only half trust anything made today. If the savings was 1/3 or more I'd likely take my chances with the generics.
