Thanks for the video, I've got a couple of questions: Do the carbon filters reduce flow rate when they need to be replaced or just lose effectiveness? How much force do you need to use to detach the hoses? I wouldn't want them to fall off while using if they got bumped or something. Did the filter cartridge come in foil? I saw on their site they say unused shelf life for filters is "at least 10 years if foil sealed", 3-5 years otherwise.

Hey, thanks for those great questions. The carbon filter will impact flowrate when they are more then overdue for replacement. They loose there effect after a month in use but later it will start to impact flow rate. You don't always need the carbon,it's more for chemicals and heavy metals so it's not always needed depending on your water source. The hoses are firm attached so no worries there so far,maybe after some years they loose there strength but I would just cut of that part. The filter is pre installed so shelf life is between 3 to 5 years so if you buy this with prepping in mind,I highly recommend getting an extra sealed filter and extra carbon discs. I hope I answered all your questions,let me know if there is something more I can do for you. I wouldn't mind a thumbs up on the video and maybe even a follow 😁 greetings,Angelo

Thnx for sharing and it was explained very good! Little thing to improve (if i may say 😁) .. you might have zoomed in more when you were pumping up, so i could have seen the working better.. Looking forward to the next video X

Does this need to be backflushed if clogged?

[@Becomingwildman]

Hi Nelson. No not at all. If this filter stops working,then it's time to replace the inner filter

[@AndreasNilssonSweden]

if you are going to store the filter wet for a longer time, how do I do it? and does it also apply to carbon filters? in practice storage for a year wet how can it be sterile?

[@Becomingwildman]

@@AndreasNilssonSweden Hi Andreas, thank you for this good question. This is how I do it. I filter a little bit of tap water. Then I close the waterfilter without pressing the blue button in the bottom. Before that I remove the carbon disk as it is only good for a month when you activate the carbon. When I take the filter out if storage,I first filter some tap water to see if all stull works well, then I press the blue button,remove the filter, install the new charcoal tab and reinstall the filter and again filter little amount of water,just to have the filter standing in water again. I always have some water in the filter to prevent the filter from drying out. Hope this advice helped you, don't hesitate to contact me for follow up. ✌️🤠
