Things you need to know before shopping online for replacement pool filters

LAKE WORTH, Fla. - June 15, 2013 - PRLog -- If you are getting ready to buy replacement swimming pool filters online for the first time, there are some things you need to consider before shopping.

First, you should figure out exactly what type of filter you need.  For more information on how to do this check out this blog for details:  http://www.allpoolfilters4less.com/blog/post/3557276.

Next, when searching online for where to buy your pool filters evaluate the shipping and return policies of the website you select so you know what to expect in regards to shipping charges and returns.  Some websites may charge you a re-stocking fee in addition to shipping charges when you do a return.

Lastly, really pay attention to what you are buying online.  Many websites make it appear you are buying an original manufacturer replacement part when in fact you are buying a cheap after-market knock-off that is made to replace the part number you are searching for.  There are some good after-market products made by quality manufacturers out there.  Unicel is my after-market manufacturer of choice.  They produce a quality product which is made in the United States.  The point I'm making is regardless of whether you want a original manufacturer part of an after-market part make sure somewhere on the product description it states the manufacturer of the item.  If the product doesn't clearly state who makes the item, then most likely you can assume it's a low quality after-market knock-off and you should probably avoid buying it.
