Product review (2 stars): No pre-filter and expensive for what it is.
i am yet another who expected the blue pre-filter, as pictured, but never got it, just plain white... the pre-filter adds to the cost of the plain white so i also wonder which version i am paying for. It's also surprising that I can buy a Bemis 1041 filter, which is about 3 times the size of this Filter E, and also contained within a large plastic housing, for less money. Something is not right here.
