NOT AS PICTURED. AND FILTER CARTRIDGE AND MATERIAL OF VISIBLY POORER QUALITY
First, the filter pictured in the listing is NOT what was in the box. The listing shows the filter pleats to be across the narrower width of the filter. THAT'S THE WAY THEY USED TO BE. What was sent had pleats that were 90 degrees different and running with the longer length of the filter. The spacing and shapes of the pleats made that more of a problem.<br /><br />Moreover the quality of the filter and pleated filter material was VISIBLY LOWER THAN WHAT WAS SHIPPED ON THE PREVIOUS ORDER ONE YEAR EARLIER.<br />1. The cardboard filer housing was of lighter material and bent in several locations<br />2. The pleated filter material was not straight and NOT UNIFORMLY SPACED.<br />3. The pleated material was bent. Some pleats were closed against the next pleat while others were open twice as widely as other pleats.<br />4. As stated before, these pleats ran the long dimension of the filter cartridge rather than across the narrower width of the cartridges, like the ones that were sent a year earlier. This amplified the condition of the bent poorly spaced pleats.
