This no-name, generic, economy compatible Carbon Block cartridge is slightly narrower and shorter than the original AMWAY E85 cartridge, but definitely fits the AMWAY A101, E-84, E-85, E-9225, E-9230, E-9231, E-9233, E-9325  & Quixtar Gen IV E0085. Will not fit E-9396, 2045AD. You have only this one to lose but lots to gain (= continued savings in the future by not having to buy expensive replacements anymore) if you try this one out and find that it works equally well.

Specifications:
This AMWAY size-compatible cartridge is manufactured to fit the original Amway/Quixtar housing for the E85 cartridge:
- 0.5 micron carbon block
- 1,200 gal, or 1 year, or clogging up by sediments (whichever is the earlier)
- 7 1/4" L x 3 7/8" Diam (surface area is 8.8% less than, and volume of media is 16.7% less than the standard original filter; It's size is slightly smaller than your original cartridge because it is a generic, compatible cartridge designed to fit several different AMWAY housings NOT any specific filter housing)
- AMWAY-compatible threaded connection on one end of the cartridge (not shown in the image); Replacement rubber gasket included

Buying a Compatible cartridge = Price of original cartridge "minus" the expensive "brand name"

Shipping to Canada:  The USPS shipping fee is actually the shipping fee for shipping by Canada Post.  Please understand our shipping charge seems to be high but it fact it is not, as the shipping fee has absorbed many additional costs: (a) Cost of shipping the cartridges in bulk from the USA into Canada; (b) Import customs brokerage fees; (c) Shipping fee from Burnaby BC by Canada Post; (d) Sales taxes (HST/GST/PST where applicable) on the price and shipping fee). You will, therefore, not have any surprise charges when the item gets delivered to your door. Shipping to Canadian locations normally takes between 3 to 12 days from the date of payment. Please give us 5-stars on our shipping fee rating.  We do not allow local pick up as this is very expensive for us waiting for a customer who may not show up promptly.

Common Questions & Answers:

Q: I'm Canadian, do I need to pay extra in taxes? A: There is no taxes payable because we (the Seller) absorb all Canadian taxes and import customs brokerage charges, if any is applicable, in the shipping fee.

Q: I'm in Canada, why is the shipping fee to Canada higher than to the USA? A: It varies with your location, and we need to ship in bulk from the USA to our trans-shipment location in Burnaby BC Canada, then shipping to you in Canada. Whatever the shipping fee is, the sensible approach to bidding is to consider the TOTAL cost of your bid, NOT just the shipping fee.
