PM scarabrick2...he's our guy here in Vegas.
I know they can be expensive. I worked at Paddock back in the day and I want to say they're about $80 average per filter. I know ours takes 4 of them. They can be more or less. Good luck.

Filter (cartridges) or filter housing? What is the brand and model #?

I'm thinking he wants to do a whole new filter and everything...not positive on the specs..:(

At $625, it seems that the entire filter housing went south? I just had this happen on my pool and replaced it with a Hayward Pro-Grid DE Filter. The expense depends on the size and the type (DE, sand, etc). Mine is a 60sq. The filter itself was $470, the valve was $100 and shipping and tax another $150. I installed it, which was not too hard, but takes time to do it right. I reworked the plumbing while I was at it. Here's who I bought it from:
AQUA SWIMMING POOL SUPPLIES

Good luck!

...thanks! Guess I was just looking to see if his price was alright. I've had the guy for a bit over 6 years and he was claiming it was the bare price.

Mine is a cartridge filter and the case cracked. All I did was get a fiber glass kit and patch it from the inside. That was five years ago :idea: :D

...:idea: Sounds like a really great option, as I have tenants in there now and winter is upon us...:idea:

Mine runs 6-8 hours a day and no proplems since.

Great fix for now........
However ,when you sell the house, I'd replace it and buy the new home owner the "pool warranty" . You'll be better off in the long run...
I can call and get you a price if you want. send me your specs....

Thats not a bad price... delivered for a complete filter, typical home filters are the 40-48 sf series. We do alot of work up here in the High Desert. I would ask him to show you the crack, cracked housings are highly unusual, cracked manifolds, grids and seal leaks are more common.
