RODI filter damaged???

[kpoj9]

Got this DI filter in the mail yesterday from Aquatic Life. It is severely bent on 2 sides probably from the vacuum seal. They say it is Ok to use even though it is distorted. Should I return or keep?

if its not cracked then keep. I have a few that are distorted from the vacuum sealing. Works fine.

I would use it, the plastic should bounce right back. Ultimately if you are concerned send it back.

Its from the vacuum sealing process you should be fine unless cracked

I would probably be annoyed with something I bought new coming to me like that, but I agree with what others have said . As long as the plastic isn't cracked and it will fit into and seal properly in your filter then it won't hurt anything.
