Never use detergent or the dishwasher, because ceramic soaks up detergent. Every couple of weeks, boil the filter for ten minutes in a pot of water with a spoonful of bicarb soda. That keeps the pores open and the filter fast for years. If it ever slows down, boil it again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"kp-guar\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e90-day money-back guarantee\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTry it every day for three months.
