What we like
- Inground-grade 24-inch tank built to last
- 2-inch 6-position VariFlo valve is simple to operate
- Self-cleaning slotted laterals for even filtration
- Documented parts availability from Hayward and multiple retailers
Worth knowing
- A large ProSeries install, a very different proposition from above-ground combo systems
- Higher upfront cost than a combo unit
- Sand and pump are separate purchases
It has documented parts availability from Hayward and multiple retailers, a proven 2-inch VariFlo valve design, self-cleaning laterals, and a corrosion-proof tank. This is a large ProSeries filter intended for substantial installations and is a very different proposition from the compact above-ground combo systems on our other page.
It is a permanent, larger install that is a very different proposition from above-ground combo units. It costs more than a combo, needs a separate pump and sand, and the independent review base on this exact listing is still small.
