I have one of these filters as well... I was not really impressed with
it's 'water polishing'. The so-called micron filter will only work
once or twice and the replacements are expensive.

It did NOT really polish the water all that much either... clogs up
fast as well. However, the FIRST use was fine. It's just replacing
that micron filter that costs soo much.

DUDE!!!!!!!!!!
Clean the micron filter by soaking in bleach water for a day, rinse
well and reuse!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hmmm... I had tried that the 2nd and third time I used the filter...
before I just went back to my system 1. It never really did 'clean'
the filter when soaked in bleach water. Just removed all coloration
etc... it was still clogged within just a few minutes of turning it
back on.

This was really obvious since the bio-wheel would stop turning and the
outflow from the filter just about stopped. Swapped back to the
carbond and foam sleave insert and all pressure was back to normal.

So the bleach didn't help me any.

yup - if you want a real water polisher - use a diatom filter (system 1)
