Welcome to our forum.
I use OEM filters most of the time, but I have had good luck with Unicel as well. Though - it IS a little creepy having them stare at me as I get into my tub...

you keep your bromine tabs in the filter compartment? to you chem guys smarter than me, is that normal? i've recently seen a few cases where hard plastic on filters turned into a soft, pliable material. in one extreme case using spa system flush released the broken down compound from the pipes and deposited as a cat in the hat style tub ring. i always assumed they were doing something out of the ordinary chemically.
FYI, this is not really a "generic" filter. The big 3 filter manufacturers are Unicel, Pleatco and Filbur. Virtually all spa manufacturers use a filter from one of them (NO spa manufacturer makes their own filters)
