The packaging made this jug-cartridge water filter look quite exciting. So I opened it up to see if it was.

    Anyone find once they open a water filter package, it's wet inside??… Makes me wondering if something unscrupulous is going on with recycling these?

    The 'activated charcoal', I believe, is derived from burnt Coconut shell/husk.

    Here's a little secret, take tap water from Flynt Michigan…and filter it….then…you still can't drink it. Lol

    very interesting. in my peon brain i always felt "filtering" tap water was necessary, but i guess it really just makes it softer? and why do they tell you to submerge it "until air bubbles stop coming out", i assume you're just priming the mixture sort of like you did… I'm going to research this to make up for my embarrassing non queried past usage

    My 10 gallon fish tank had better filtration than that and you could change the charoal/resin and โ€œwoolโ€ we called it, for about 5ยข.

    Thanks for this. You're good at explaining. I have a 10" filter with a 10" housing, but the filter became moldy because I couldn't screw it shut, it didn't go all the way down to the buttom(rounded off housing at the buttom, two different manufacturors. How is the water supposed to flow when the filter is inside the housing?

    Don't known if this channel is still responsive, I know this filter will also trap micro-organism and bacteria which proliferates. It is a vicious cycle if the chlorine is absorbed, and all types of bacteria going through? So it is essential to measure level of bacteria before and after filter (trapped in the device). Next is of course the filter of important minerals. Last point is a question, when you say the material can be cleaned up to some extent, what happen if this material is literally 'washed' with slightly acidic (or alkaline) liquid like vinegar (or sodium bicarbonate)?
