Hayward or Pentair.

Biased opinion.

Have a Pentair that is about 7 years old now. Still using the
original
media/element, but that part is nearing the end of it's life. First
small
hole in the fabric has shown up and the plastic frame inside the
elements
is getting brittle, some has cracked and broken.

But that brings up another question. Do you need a whole new filter?
In the case of the above, the media can be replaced for $180 or so,
about 1/4 the cost of a whole new filter.
