I'm still puzzled by how filtering water could cause MORE particulates to get into it, when the definition of filtering is to REMOVE contaminants. Also...my understanding of the post-filter is that it's a very good thing to use to get rid of solvents like benzene, which cannot be eliminated during the first filtering and which, even with a second (post) filtering, are only partly eliminated. I'll talk to some other sellers of water distillers and see if I can clear this up.
