Is $1,700 to replace cartridge filter with a sand filter a fair price?
Project Details
I have a 15k gallon plaster pool with a cracked Pentair clean and clear cartridge filter. The previous owner glued the drainage plug from the inside, and it cracked when I tried to turn it. I already have a compatible Pentair pump.
