Water filter cartridges storage

Thanks Mick - mine is also supposed to be .05 micron but there is nothing on it to indicate this.

Suppose I will soon find out if the info re storage is right as we are heading off next week - any funny tummies will be sheeted home to the filter!!

Chawbie,

What the bloke at the filter place told me was that if you're filtering fairly crappy water (which I was), then microbes that are trapped within the filter can still survive/grow even if the filter is dried out. Freezing the filter once dry prevents any growth etc between uses. I used mine three times over a period of 6 weeks to filter roughly 500 litres of water and stored in the engel freezer between each use. I had no drama's. Did a great job on the filtering. Even took the brown tannin colour out!

Cheers Mick.

Thanks again Mick - sounds like the right advice.

You might have a point Ian but some of the better ones are rated up to 10000 litres capacity and it could become quite expensive to replace after each trip if only short.

Seems like we need advice from an expert.
