The filter arrived right when Amazon said it would, but like with some of the other customers, the box was very beaten up. After opening what was left of the box, it turned out that the bag for parts kit had ripped open also and was missing the pressure gage and valve that it mounts to. The filter assembly itself was good to go, but without those parts, I would have to wait to do the install. With a quick call to Amazon, everything was made right and I was able to install the new filter the next day. Everything is working great and my pool is crystal clear. Thank you Amazon, great job on taking care of everything so fast and without any hassles.

Great price. Save some big bucks like others. We had a 19 year old fnsp60 with a crack in the base. Whoever said that if you fix a crack in a pool filter just buys you time, they were correct. I fixed a 1/4" crack in our old one with marine epoxy.2 weeks later it split to about an inch and started leaking badly - then I installed more epoxy and put some of that wonder tape over it. Each time, I repaired it from the inside.The 2nd patch lasted about a week and I had a 6 inch crack on the base and flooded 1/3 of my backyard.This one is really nice. My old one had fiberglass flakes so you had to have gloves on any time you handled it. The new one doesn't have the annoying fiberglass flakes that can get into your skin.All I did to replace this was to unscrew the 2 joints going into the old filter. I luckily had one of those "Jaw" type of oil filter wrenches and it fit perfectly over the union mount to unscrew it to get the old one out, and screw it back into the new filter.The new one lined up exactly at the same height as my old one so all I had to do was to slide it into place and screw the unions back on.I used plumbers tape at all joints, including the pressure relief valve and pressure valve.I screwed the pressure gauge into the pressure relief valve, then screwed the pressure relief valve on to the upper cover. To adjust the angle of the face of the gauge, I held onto the valve and unscrewed the gauge a little until I could easily see the gauge (instead of the gauge facing the house).I did make a mistake, though, and didn't replace to big O-rings in the unions so my lower union is now leaking a bit - but that's my fault for being lazy. Just mentioning that so you don't make the same mistake as I.I was a little intimated before I did this, but I'd removed the top from my old one (DE Leaks, Replaced the entire grid assembly, fixing the cracks) so I knew there wasn't very much to this filter in terms of complexity or number of pieces and parts. It's 80 pounds and bulky, so I did have to get help from my wife and daughter to lift it over the pipes into the final location of the filter.By the way, I ordered this on a Wednesday. Amazon said it'd be there Monday, but it actually arrived early on Friday, so it took less than 2 days to arrive after I ordered it.

This came to me with an apparent forklift hole right in it...and obviously it was packed in the box that way because there was no hole in the box. Luckily my installer was able to get it replaced through the manufacturer under warranty. Replacement unit has worked fine since.

I just replaced my original FNS 60 pool filter after it failed about the only way these things ever fail - it got 18 years old and got a crack in the fiberglass that eventually ripped all the way up the side and gushed water everywhere.The only challenge in installing this thing is its weight and size. Except for me my old filter was so old the plumbing inlet and outlet was an inch higher than on this new one. Rather than redo all the plumbing I just put some inch thick pavers under it. This filter doesn't move or vibrate, it just fills with water and sits heavily on the concrete. Still probably the easiest setback I've dealt with in any of my DIY repairs and replacements.It comes fully assembled such that most anyone could probably install it in less than 30 minutes, but I took the time to open the filter just to see if the filter screens were properly seated and all that. Everything was OEM brand and looked great in there. So many improvements from my ancient pool filter.

Bought this Pentair FNSP60 to replace a similar Pentair model that was installed in 1991 (maybe even older). The old one had a hairline crack in the bottom assembly and was leaking. I looked at options to repair, but decided it would be best to replace.This filter works great and I have no complaints. It is built of high quality materials and operates as designed and claimed by Pentair.I removed the old filter myself and installed this one with no issues. It was easy and the instructions were clear.This filter does a good job of filtering my pool water and I have no issues or recommendations for improvements to the product.I recommend this product.
