Yeah. I can see cutting an unused filter to see what the media looks like, but the louvers don't change between a new and a used filter.
Cracks me up when people call others out for spending their own money. I wouldn't call it a waste of money; the OP is contributing to the discussion here on the board. You'd be singing a different tune if the louvers were closed or the media was damaged.
My intent wasn't to "call out". Just felt like he should have used the actual filter.
No I wouldn't be singing a different tune. Louvers closed or media damage is going to happen to every company, whether often or not. The only benefit is that it wouldn't be used because it was cut open. But there's no clear way to tell media damage unless you cut open, but then, AGAIN, you can't use it after that.
