Caper Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 Hmmm...couldn't think of what else to call this subject :-? I cleaned my filter today (all hang ons). I was one filter short. The whisper filter has 2 cartridges that are plastic, slip on white media that you fill with carbon. The other cartridges for the other filters have carbon in them (it was one of these I was short). Anyway, rather than only have the blue media on one side, I took one of the filters that were for the whisper filter (new) and used it. I didn't bother to put carbon in it. It didn't quite fit in the slot. So, I'm guessing this is ok???? Caper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 Why were you a cartridge short? Do you change them each time? Just rinse them and put them back. They can be resused a long time before needing replacement. The other will be fine until you can get one that fits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caper Posted October 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 Every two weeks because of the carbon. Caper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caper Posted October 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 2 of the filters take cartridges that already contain carbon, the other filter has the carbon in a separate pouch that you add. I don't know if I can buy without the carbon; I'll have to check that out! Caper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
