I don't think it's a good buy although it's very much cheaper but the lifespan is short and you'll have problem getting the spares. most important of all, the design is bad in such that the there's too much space between the trays and canister body which enable the inlet water to bypass thru the side instead of going thru the filter medias. Also they tends to over rated the flow rate. I've got a brand new 828 for the first and also the last time and just using less than a year, the top rubber which connect the top plate to the canister head tear and i can get the spares i want. The worst part is each time i wash the canister, i found that the other than the first tray which got debris, the rest below that are all so clean and i used a small torch to have a look and found that debris actually flow thru the side instead of the centre of the tray. unlike my eheim canisters. Just sharing my bad experience with this canister.
