I may come back and change this. The problem with buying this product online is no support. It did not come with fittings for the valve. I am finding it impossible to find the correct fitting for 2" pipe because the threads on the valve fittings are not NPT on the outside 2" threads. Which only leaves plumbing with the 1.5 inside threads. NOT what you want to do on a 60 GPH filter. I have now spent over 8 hours trying to find fittings and currently on hold on the phone with pentair waiting for someone to tell me exactly where to get fittings.
Everything works great, only 1 small problem with a leak at the top 6 inch bulkhead adapter. No matter what I do cannot get it to stop leaking. Believe the O-ring is not thick enough.
I installed this about a year ago. Everything works great and the pool is clear. The package is a little flimsy so be careful carrying it to where it needs to be installed.

For some reason it's a little difficult to find the ClearPro version of the 60D, and the couple places it was available seemed to be way more expensive vs the regular 60D. But then I found the ClearPro version sold by Amazon of all places for around $50 more than the regular 60D with free Prime shipping (it arrived in 3 days for me).
Anyway, it arrived just in the regular manufacturer's box, with no padding inside the box to speak of (I could feel the filter sort've rolling around inside the box when I picked it up). I was a little bothered by that, but unpacked it and looked it over, and it seemed fine (it's surprisingly light, so that probably helped).
In addition to the filter and the ClearPro laterals, it comes with the valve, valve collar, and a pretty cheap psi gauge. But I was surprised to see that it didn't come with Unions. I had to purchase the Pentair 150119 Union kit to complete my installation. My pool was pretty green with lots of debris, and after 48 hours of running this filter (along with some shock), I'm all cleaned up, and it's looking great. My first backwash was as dirty as I've ever seen - it looked like mud - so anecdotally I think it's working pretty well.
Hard to say after a week whether it's any good or not, but it's working well right now. I hope it continues to work as well as it has initially. Function is 5 stars, but annoying that it doesn't come with unions, so I'm knocking off a start for that. I will update this review later if I have any experience that changes my opinion.
