- 22% of its ratings are one or two stars, the worst share among the deep-base tanks we read
- The warranty is prorated: after year one it pays 35%, then 10%, and one 2026 owner with photos of a split side was told it was not covered

The tank body fails, usually at the seam and inside two years: "It lasted one year and then started leaking from underneath"; "Not even two seasons and professionally winterized and it split the side wide open"; "Cracked on the side after 2 seasons"; "Had this filter less than 2 years and it is leaking badly at the seam." Two owners also report the seller or the warranty declining the claim.
