Should Water Be Removed From AquaFresh Water Filter AF77FR When Storing It?

Updated 08/24/2021 | Published 08/20/2021

Question:

This is a follow-up question to storing the dual filter system. Should the filter housings be emptied of the water before storing? Is there any chance of a bacteria or mold forming on the filters? Or should the filters be stored in a protective solution?

I reached out to my contact at AquaFresh and she mentioned that when storing the AquaFresh Exterior Water Filter System # AF77FR you will drain as much water as possible, seal the ends of the filter housing, and keep it in a cool area out of sun light.

Doing this will keep the filter from getting bacteria inside of it, and you do not want to add any sort of solution to the filters.

I included a video of the # AF77FR for you to take a look at.
