Hey Michael, I had not heard of a system that allowed for operation of the water etc. with the filter out. THis is of course a nice benefit in the event you do not have one and need to still use the water. I know the replacement process is pretty simple for all the units I have encountered. If they made the process to complicated,, no one would bother replacing the filter. grin On Jul 23, 2010, at 10:58 PM, Michael baldwin wrote:
