    It works as intended.

I purchased a new filter element in December and regret that purchase. I purchase the Unicel filter element as I have had great results in the past with this brand. It has not let me down like the last filter element. I made the classic mistake of trying to buy a lesser cost filter and wasted my money. lesson learned - All filters were not created equally.

Prompt delivery, well packaged.  Can't speak for longevity of this particular filter cartridge, but am hoping for at least a year.  Been happy with previous orders of this filter.
