"Aftermarket" filters

Post by Splash51 » Wed Jun 17, 2009 9:03 am

Has any one tried machine filters that are not the manufacture brand ? I see on e-bay replacement filters that are less expensive but always say like manufactures or replaces manufactures. Should I stick to the brand name ?

"Caveat Emptor".

I'm not saying they're NOT of good quality, but I have more peace of mind purchasing them through some place that I trust.

There ARE aftermarket filters that are made by reputable companies.

Brand name is not always that much more.

I've used non-name brand fine filters for more than a year. It looks identical to the name brand, and as far as I can tell they work just as well.
