    Is this Factory original

    Do you think this may be the cause of low power on the 79SF that my stepson just bought I think it may actually be the factory original filter. Some PO's should be shot!

          OK, I give up. What is the problem?

                                  Has to be factory original. It would take 30 years to get that much crap in a filter.
                                  What a mess.

                                          Funny how some people can mention current events and their posts are deleted, then someone else does the same and it's OK.
