Camco water filter
We usually drink bottled water and reserve the campground water for cooking, showering, etc. Now, bottled water is getting close to impossible to find. For that reason, I picked up a Camco Water Filte...

Generally speaking lets say its 80F and normal humidity. (whatever that is)
How many weeks can a used filter sit there wet?
If you have a 10" filter, is it best to remove it and let it air dry?
Asking here because you guys above seem to be pretty knowledgeable. I had the blue filters for awhile and now have a 10" housing. I did not read the fine print, but the filter is rated in months. Is there a little asterisk i missed and they give an estimation of how many gallons per month?
This type of replaceable filter?
THROW IT OUT WHEN DONE!!
At only $4.00 per filter, why be so darn cheap?
Is your life and health not more important than the $4.00 it costs for the filter?
There is no "safe" way to "store" a WET filter, especially if the incoming water has not gone through some municipal water treatment facility that treats the water and water system with Chlorine and even then I would highly question "saving" a wet filter.
Bacteria, mold or other stuff can easily multiple in a wet or damp environment and your wet filter will be a perfect breeding ground.
The only safe way is to continually use the filter keeping the bacteria flushed out OR open, clean, dry the filter housing and remove and discard the wet cartridge.
Don't play games with your health for FOUR LOUSY DOLLARS!
