Filter Washing Frequency Guide
NOTE:
Standard cooking will turn the beads yellow in color. Open flame cooking will cause the beads to
blacken. Neither affects the performance of the beads.
Caution: To prevent damage to filter media, do not wash second stage filters in detergents that contain
hydroxides such as sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide.
