Brands & Models
Brand matters less than fit: the right type, capacity and materials for your water usually outweigh the logo. Brand does matter for dealer support and parts availability over a lift's long life. These profiles are independent and describe what each manufacturer is generally known for. Always confirm current specifications with the manufacturer or an authorized dealer.
