Hayward DE Filter needs new screens....can

10 years ago

Hello,
I have found this forum so helpful with so many things so I am hoping to get some advice on my pool related question as well.

I have a Hayward DE 6000 filter...and the screens need to be replaced. My local pool company is quoting me approx $45 per screen but I can get a set made by Unicel online for approx $160 through Pool World Supply. That is a major difference in price and I am wondering if anyone has come across this and what do I do.... is the extra price justified? I assume the screens for $45 each are made by Hayward but Pool World says the Unicel filters are just as good if not better.

We just bought the pool a year ago so I am still learning. Any advice?

Thanks so much in advance.

Take a look at amazon.com and see what you can find. I did a quick search and the Hayward was less than the Unicel filters, but I'm not sure that I was looking at the correct screens. The reviews at least should help you decide between the two.
I use amazon to buy the gaskets for my pool vacuum filter - $14 on amazon prime with free two-day shipping vs $24 plus tax at my local pool store. I do spend money there as I like to support small businesses, but I won't allow myself to get ripped off. $14 is still too much to pay for a strip of rubber.
