Seriously. Did you not look at the filter for three years? How does that even happen?

I did, they work just fine for 3 years until breaking apart last month, so I guess their lifespan is about 3 years in hot climate.
I checked once in every month or so, the left filter still in great condition, only the right one that breaking apart, thats why I guess i'm countered this problem quite early.

Ok, your first post read like these were left in without checking for three years.
