Has anyone actually compared this to the original filter when you changed it to compare quality, numbers of rows, etc?

It looked just the like the original. I found it to perform as well as the one that came with the vacuum cleaner.

The two look exactly the same in every way. They are indistinguishable to the human eye. I'm completely satisfied with the performance, as well.

Difficult to say as I have only the Star Tech filter. I have been satisfied with its performance. Easy to clean.

My original filter was the B and the A works exactly the same. I bought the A, after checking with the manufacturer's website, when I couldn't find the B. Hope this helps, Bambi.

it is my opinion that your R/O membrane is not working properly. I have only used Watts (Phoenix) filters in the past, and when my system was new, it reduced TDS by 92% or more. After many years, I replaced the membrane with a new 75GPD filter, and my rejection ration was 94%. I expect this new filter to last at least 10 years, but it cost $115.00. It would appear to me you got what you paid for, and the results seem to be very poor.

Seems like it's faulty to me. I just replaced my filter with a new one and the flow is the same as the one that came with the unit.

No. So far it has worked flawlessly. This is the first filter I've used. We'll see what happens in the future.

Yes, a bit, but I decided I could live with it. I actually was a bit more frustrated with the fit of the filters.

I only know this filter works for me. You could try it and if it doesn't work, see if you can return it.

I'm unsure. I had another/original media in the filter, and I just changed this one. So, it hasn't been in there long enough to know what happens for changes in color.

I replaced the filter with no problem. When I did so there was an audible "click". The only suggestion I would make is check the filter to make sure it's the right one.

Yes, like my smaller Hayward 1200 filter system.. tho Idid order a 2nd filter to fit.. My Pool Service supportparties wouldn't serve me on this.. saying it's bigger filter stillhas to be changed quit often. I understand, so went back to doing the changing myself.. I may later this year supplementthe Hayward with a Diatameous Earth Spin unit,, to evenfilter onger & better.PS, the Hayward filter is slightly better than the cheapcopy version/I have lots of trees around my pool, sol any filter needsmore changing than a pool without leaves Bill S.

yeah, that should fit your model. No idea on the shelf life of the membranes but I think they are more related to time in use and not time in a bag. have you tested the TDS? changed the other filters according to schedule? I was getting around a 30ppm tds from an input tds of 600-700 by the time I changed it. I think the water quality is a little worse with the 50gpd membrane. (roughly 50ppm post install with the same input tds.)

The price changed so drastically from my last order that I wonder if it is the same filter I ordered, and I haven't done any research yet to find out. Sorry. Google it to find out or call Hunter is best way.

We changed ours recently, but never really looked that close. The prefilter will be the dirtiest for sure, since air flows thru there first. The IQAir said it was time to change it so we did.

I don't know if this one is the same as my old one..but my old one you could not use it without a filter on it

I see another reviewer has mentioned an issue with the basket fit and fit problems with solid filters. This is my issue also. I like to use a gold filter...whent a paper one inside that. They keep altering the design of their basket, but newer ones are even worse than older ones. So when I replaced the last one and couldnt get my gold filter to fit, I did swap out the plastic pieces from the old unit. This was better, but not perfect.

My filters have NO printing. But one side is more shiny and that's the side that goes toward the machine. Seems to be working very well, I even see more dirt trapped than with the originals!Bob
