Digi is right.......


Also Here's a lil tip... You can thank me later. ...

A common problem using those disposable filters and the bottle top filters is they leak. Either from the psi pressure (cracking) or. . On the bottle tops they'll leak from the Seam .. where the clear plastic joins the base. To solve this issue... use rubber cement. ... It will form a seal. Prep them BEFORE you start filtering...
Anyone that has done this enough times knows EXACTLY what I'm talking about lol
Give it a try. You'll Thank me later hommie slice ; )

Thanks for all the advice guys. Will definitely glue the seams above the filter an keep the pressure low to keep from cracking(about 6-7psi). And will use PVDF filters. The guy that told me about those filters says at 1-1/2% - 2% it isn't enough to mess up the filters but I'm not going to take the chance....lol

Bottle top filtering is def the way to go with the small time homebrewer. I've made some contraptions in the past for those whatmans lol those things suck

Get yourself a glass 45mm top media bottle then you can run 25psi no leaks or cracks.

How would you guys compare the following filters?
Millipore stericup vs Nalgene vs. Roush autofil? Roush is the only one using a .22u membrane, but it looks fairly new to the market.

Millipore and they make a .22 membrane they all work well just my preference.

That's for the info HRT. Are the filters one time use?

Yes one time only as with all of them.

There are so many contradictions about filters that its hard to decide which to use. I like the idea of the Roush Autofill but I don't know anything about it.
