For thorough cleansing, scrub your system using a mildly abrasive sponge (3M Scotch Brite pad), under cool running water with running cool water, then rinse. This also extends filter life while maintaining their ability to remove E. coli, Chlorine, Chloramines, Heavy Metals, Pharmaceuticals, Pesticides Herbicides Volatile Organic Compounds VOC’s Petroleum Contaminants Bisphenol-A BPA Perfluorinated Chemicals etc – to name just some contaminants!
