What if I forgot to follow the storage directions for my SweetWater Microfilter?
No problem. If the filter is dry and clean, pump a couple of liters through it and you’re good to go. If the filter is wet and scummy, mix up a bleach solution of 30 milliliters (1 ounce, or 2 tablespoons) of regular household bleach to 1 liter (1 quart) of water. Pump the solution through the filter, stopping before pumping air in to the inlet tube, and allow the filter to soak (assembled) overnight. The next morning, pump a couple of liters through and you’re ready for your trip. This is also an excellent way to rejuvenate a filter that is not responding well to brushing. If you did follow the storage instructions, be sure to thaw out your filter cartridge overnight and pump a couple of liters through it to make sure everything is in working order before your trip.
