    Filter cracked. which one to buy.

    Like the title says my stay-rite system 3 D.E. Filter just cracked on the side.I assume I over tightened it. So, I guess it’s time for a new filter just not sure what type or brand to go with. Any information or opinions would be great. I was leaning towards a filter type but not sure yet.
