What replacement grids have yall had the best luck with in the Pentair FNS Plus 60 sq ft DE filter? This is our first pool and already replaced a cracked manifold. Noticed a few of the grids had some broken spots in the inner plastic. Filter material is intact for now, but I would like to replace all at the same time and Amazon doesn't carry the Pentair brand of grids. I would like to use Amazon for the return policy if possible. I appreciate the feedback.

Welcome to TFP
I have purchased at pool store such as Leslies because I am in middle of cleaning and need it now.
You can purchase at Polytec as one other option.

I want to stay away from Leslie's if at all possible. Had a bad Algae problem at first. Tried to sell me $700 worth of chems. One new manifold, 5 gallons of bleach and 5 days later the pool is spotless with perfect cheese. Obviously had to use liquid chlorine and a few bags of granulated shock the last couple of days have it gorgeous. Which is how I found this forum. Buddy told me to read some of the posts and start watching YouTube. Found the crack. Got the filter fixed and super stoked I didn't spend all that money.
Unicel, Pleatco (which is now owned by Pentair), Filbur. All good brands of grids.

OEM filters are 3+ times as much as aftermarket. No significant difference.
