| I'm still a relative n00b at this but I would suggest a clean toothbrush, cold running tap water, and some elbow grease. Is the stuff inside just "hard water" deposits? | |

| unsure about this fitler type...
though the trusty new tooth brush and elbow grease came in handy for a few of my cheap replacement filter media....
must be a easier way though...
some times i soak my old filter in a new salad stirring bowl.. fill with water and spin away....
gets rid of the media pretty damn quick, though make sure you do it in a bigger bowl or be prepared to get mucky...lol | |
