Love the attitude. It's crazy that people obsess over "cardboard end caps" yet the filter media is the same stuff!!!


It's nice to have something stronger than the media holding it all together.


Like a metal center tube?

BITOG web-ineering at its finest folks.

Why? If it tears, bursts or otherwise disintegrates it will find the weakest link be it the media, the endocarps, the glue, etc.

The only people think metal is better is because of the Wix marketing machine that said it is. The fact is that neither is better than the other and both work well.
