How do these compare to the brand Walmart sells? We're going through one of those every 3-5 days. I'm hoping these Intex will last longer.

exactly the same can not tell the difference mine last two to three weeks then i clean them let them dry and reuse a second time then throw away after second use

We have never used Walmart brand filters and have always used the Intex ones. We have used them for years. I think the trick is to wash them out once a week and keep using them until thy no longer get clean . I would recommend the Intex ones. Hope this helps

That last about the same but are cheaper. You can also reuse them by rising them out the a hose with the spray attachment on it

I use one about every 2 weeks. If you keep them clean they last a long time

These lasted longer, I think. I bought a bunch to last the summer and have about 5 left over. But my pool was smaller. I did run it 24/7 and skimmed it daily.

They'll be about the same. It has to do with how much gunk is in your pool to get trapped in the filters. If they last longer, they aren't doing their job. Factors include balancing your pool chemicals properly, how much stuff blows in your pool, how often you vacuum and use your skimmer net to get all the little floating things out of the water. I run my pump 24/7, vacuum it about once a week, and use my net for about 30 minutes a day. This gets me about a week under ideal conditions. If it rains or I miss a few days of cleaning one will last 3 or 5 days. You can also take your water hose and clean them and reuse them at least 1 time. They'll be about the same.

I'm Finished with mine so I can't confirm the brand. Also, each batch would have to have a different expiration date, mine was November 2014, so it would have to be later. I believe I bought mine about a year ago. They do work.

I bought 13. no issues yet. Check w/ company. I hope they last longer than yours.

I had that happen when i first started. They probably will even out. How long have you took them??

In my experience they last as long as other bulbs typically last. Mine were still working great and strong when we sold my truck.... it hadn't been years since the install but there was no sign of them going out anytime soon. (I think it had been 1-2 years since the bulb swap out from factor bulbs)

These have been very hit or miss for me. On some they will last about a week and a few days for a 1L bottle, but I have had some where they just empty into the plant and leak all over my furniture, this has happened so much I no longer use them. :(

THey seem to last pretty well indefinitely if kept dry and in the dark. I have some apple chips I have had for at least 6 years that still work great! I just purchased too much at once and then wanted to try other kinds.

They are pretty close in quality, the hardest part was actually finding the name brand ones that were correct. I decided to go with off brand just to try and so far they are holding up pretty good. Hope that helps

They absorb better than the ones at Walmart; better quality. As far as odor; they are also better, but no pad can eliminate all odors because of urine ammonia. These are the best I've found also, reading reviews of this product and other brands.

We had the opposite problem. We ordered our worms in the dead of winter in upstate ny. They were dropped off on our front porch for hours before we noticed them. The package clearly said "perishable" and "live" yet the PO still left them to freeze, which they did. Out of 200 we probably had 50 still alive. If you need them in the summer go to Walmart. But if it is a cooler season for you then these are nice worms that come nicely packaged. Price wise walmart worms are 30 for $3ish. We supplemented ours with a few containers of walmart worms. As far as we know everyone got along. No worm wars. But many babies. ;-) We had the opposite problem. We ordered our worms in the dead of winter in upstate ny.

Look, these things break in a few days. Try and get your money returned. I bought a similar item from a warrantor for life that runs on double A batteries...it seems to have more longevity overall, but these break...I haven't seen anyone who can claim they've run them for more than a few days without it breaking.

I don't believe so. A friend gave me a pair they weren't using and they shorted out or something after 2 weeks. I've never had one product break so many times. Walmart headphones have lasted years.

Mine is good. Just want to let you know: you may find a same one with lower price in Walmart.

I have not had that experience. I would compare with Walmart as well they carry these. I needed to get my order up for free shipping.

They last about a year. I have been buying them for about five years and Amazon has the best prices. I think you will be happy with them. Hope this helped.

They worked just fine. These did not need time to warm up at all. The lights work well the only problem is that they burn out quickly. They only lasted a little over 30 days. I am going to try generic Wal-mart brand that are half the price to see how long they last. Hope that helps.

I've tried these bulbs in several different fixtures, including the fixture from the company. 6 bulbs in 8 months. Last replacement bulbs, one busted. Gave up. I now use plant bulbs from Walmart that are great. Plants thrive under them. The city you live in might have a nursery that carries them. Agrolite can provide you a location. Me; I'm sticking with what I'm using now. They last! Hope this helps my friend. Also; their fixtures are weak. Ballasts burn out quick. They sent me a replacement fixture that was not shown on their ad. The " new" fixture had "shop lamp" marked on it. So I paid close to $40 for it. Same fixture at Walmart, Home Depot had same fixture for 19.99. Buyer beware!
