Thinking seriously about getting a fluidized bed filter, but not sure which to get.
1) Pentair Lifegard FB300 - easy to find, inexpensive, quite a few negative reviews (mostly about sand clogging the inflow and also leaking from the bottom seals)

2) Quiksand QSA-1 - very hard to find a seller (only found 1), a bit more expensive, the few reviews I've found suggest it's superior to the FB300

3) Quiksand QSB-1 - also very hard to find a seller, inexpensive, no reviews but it's designed to sit inside a wet/dry sump and has an open (overflow) top - would be convenient for my setup/maintenance

Any thoughts/experiences using these filters?
