Product review (3 stars): package damaged with what looks like an aftermarket wrapping on the filter itself
Not sure whether my filter is new or reconditioned.  I've purchased this filter from amazon before and it did not show up as it did today; package damaged with what looks like an aftermarket wrapping on the filter itself.  Not to mention no instructions included in the box.  I understand that installation is relatively simple, but if I had never ordered previously, I wouldn't know to submerge the filter in water for at least 15 minutes before installing.  I like these filters and expect it work fine, but MY filter has previous return written all over it.
