I lost my sump filter and sump plate, had it wrapped in a plastic bag on my bench, must have fallen off and found it's way into the bin, so, I had to buy a new filter and plate. Plate cost $48 Aust and I found this filter on ebay for $55. It doesn't have the flat section of gauze like the OEM filter, rather it has the gauze concertinaed around the entire periphery. I'll give this one a try, perhaps it won't destruct like the OEMs do and I can get away without a guard. Anybody else tried this filter?
