[pct-l] Water filter question

[Brian McLaughlin]

I've experienced this before with replacement filters
for the PUR/Katadyn Hiker.

The filter in question has an activated charcoal core, inside a
fiberglass matrix. The grey discharge is powdered charcoal
from the surface of the core. It should go away after running
about 2 or 3 liters of waters through it.

No worries.

Hey all,
So I just bought a replacement filter for a now extinct PuR water-filter. It 
is exactly like the Katadyne Hiker pro. I actually bought the hiker pro 
cartridge. My question being; Has anyone ever experienced a grey soapy 
discharge when going to a new filter?

Just baffled me.

F.Y.I. I read this thread many times a day. You guys are hilarious!

Thanks a bunch,
Dave (class of 2010)
