Looking for an ultima filter before I purchase something new. Looking for a 2000 or bigger model. I know shipping is pricey but still willing to pay the shipping.
 
You're better off just buying a new one. I waited 6 months checking this forum for Ultima's for sale to try and save money. I rarely see them, and when I do, I'm to late.
 
It’s better to buy a new one because the old ones may have issues. The multi port valve will stick on the older ones. Also the internal screws sometimes rust out even though it’s supposed to be stainless. Maybe low grade stainless steel screws. A replacement valve cost about $200. Any one of the gaskets can leak too. The media could be clogged with pond mud and require disassembly/cleaning. Unless it’s free or very cheap, it’s not worth it.
 
Appreciate the input. My new Ultima 4000 arrived yesterday. I got impatient hunting for a used one anyways.
