No. Even if you go through a ton of water, I'm not conviced it'll even work... Save your money, avoid big puddles that could submerge your filter.

I wouldn't bother. How often do you think you'll go through water that deep?

well i got one and after a couple months the thing just cracked in half from engine vibrations...i don't think it was worth it, besides, in order to get these filters to suck up enough water to damage the engine, they have to be completely submerged....

If not submerged, then don't worry.
