I hope this post can help someone before they spend any money at saveonpoolsupplies.com or intheswim.com. I purchased 4 filter cartridges for my Clean and Clear Plus filter and they literally fell apart after 6 hours a day for two months. Then I’m accused of not knowing how to take care of the filters. The original OEM filters lasted 4 years. So I’m very aware of how to extend the life of my filters.
The manufacturer is Pleatco. They claim to use the best materials. Maybe I got a bad batch or maybe I just got ripped off. Needless to say I’m out $260 dollars for filters that didn’t even last 2 months.
I have the Better Business Bureau looking into Pleatco but I do have the results of saveonpoolsupplies.com search. I would recommend that no one buy from saveonpoolsupplies.com or intheswim.com. They rip people off and sell inferior products and they don’t stand behind any thing. No good in my book. Bad Company. In the end, you will not save on pool supplies at in the swim .com.
