No Racor Filter, but a Wix 33426 Fuel/Water separator?

I'm slowing working my way through checking out all of the systems on a 95 Catalina 36mkii that I recently purchased.

I noticed that the "filter" closest to the tank is a Wix 33426 Fuel/Water separator. Is this normal on Catalinas? I was sort of expecting a Racor type filter with a clear bowl like I have seen many times.

What is the consensus on this type of set up? Should I seriously consider switching to something else, or is this okay?

Thanks,
