After 3 uses, my filter turned brown.

Do any of you remove the filter after every wash (store it in a bag or something)? The reason I ask is, the filter may have turned brown too soon since there was left over water in the refill when I removed it.

I know that it depends on the water hardness which determines the number of uses. Anyone know of any tips and tricks to prolong the refill filters life?

Thanks

After I was done with the filter that came with the package I stopped using the autodry. Maybe I'll start using it again and buy a new filter.

The flow output of the autodry is pretty weak. I dont even use it anymore just because it's frustrating. The soap would dry before I could even rinse it down.

However, you can try to quickly rinse the soap off the car with regular tap water first, and then use the autodry to sheet off the tap. The autodry filters dont last as long because the majority of the DI'ed water is trying to get the soap off the car. Wit its weak output, you're gonna have to use a lot of water.
