was wondering if it would be better to go with this hayward version (24 inch) side mount
I say so because I can get it much much faster. here is the link. Hayward E3435

or they also do a hayward top mount E3310 which is a top mount 31 inch version by hayward

I know that the pentair is ideal but I want to know if it is that much better for my situation and to wait for it (as I can't filter right now obviously). Also anyone with good places to get the Pentair online?
