Dealer-only pick — Four elements and level ports — but zero warranty if you buy it online
How to read a Showdown Score™
The only score that counts how often a product breaks, not just how owners feel about it.
- Three parts add up to the score: what owners rate it, how often it fails them, and whether a credentialed tester backed it.
- Bands: Exceptional 8.5 and up, Excellent 7.5, Very good 6.5, Good 5.5, Fair 4, Poor below 4. Every score is dated.
- Price, the warranty and what a link pays us stay out of it.

FAQ

You are buying through a dealer anyway and want Jandy's hydraulics — inlet and outlet at the same height and a larger drain than its rivals.
What is the warranty on the Jandy CV460 Cartridge Filter (460 sq ft)?
⚠️ None at all if bought online — Jandy excludes internet purchases outright
Record
- — Given its own page on the strength of the paperwork rather than an owner base: a maker-sourced warranty term, a safety check, and a full spec table.
- — Opened the only marketplace listing for this filter and found zero owner ratings on it. Jandy sells here under its parent's Zodiac name, and that listing carries no reviews at all — so there is no owner record for this filter, and nothing to average.
