We sterilize the system at the start of the year with the same filter from the last.I have taken out the charcoal bag in it so it works just as a blank.Filters i found out they are a waste of money for,as long as the system has been sterilized the water is clean to drink and wash dishes in.

They do block fine particles of dirt though getting to the taps but,you can get over this by taking of the end of the tap spout to clean once in a while..we dont drink from the taps but use a water bottle as above.

I have to add though, I was very glad of my filter when I found a dead earwig stuck to it!! It obviously made its way into the aquaroll and was sucked up by the pump. Had it not been for the filter, the earwig would have been trapped in one of the taps for months - yuk!
