FYI - I had a filter that made things WORSE. It would allow algae/bacteria/gross stuff to grow in it. I removed the filter and dumped a whole quart bottle of bleach in each tank. I let it sit for an hour, added water to the tanks, ran them dry, refilled with water, and the tank water has been nice ever since. Joe Coquina

After it thawed, it would no longer pass anything, including water. The wet fibers apparently swelled when they froze, creating a solid barrier.

I am involved with two land based water purification systems sourcing from lake water and one from a cistern. It has has been an interesting learning curve involving filtering and UV treatment compared to "Water Makers" using reverse osmosis. Don
