Water Filter Replacements
Originally uploaded by mikeysklar
We purchased a inexpensive 5 stage reverse osmosis water filter when we moved into Holy Scrap. Now, four years later our filtered water quality has been dropping so I decided to change all five filters. The process took a few hours and I'm still testing the water trying to get it back to acceptable levels. Our city water is testing now at 550PPM and the water filter is giving us 150PPM. I want the water filter to be able to produce 50PPM, but I understand the new filters need to be flushed with enough water to get that low. Maybe in the next few days we can get there.

I've read that when installing new filters its best to let them soak in the medium overnight. (Whether its water or oil or gasoline) Adding a dry filter to the system can lower the lifespan and efficiency of the filter itself. Also, I believe you to be correct that it will take a few days of light use before the filter 'warms up' to its occupation.
