I've been buying filters for a while now and decided to write about them. However, I didn't know about the recycling of them until recently. I love the idea.....and earning points to do so?? BONUS!!! For me, one drawback with the filters is having to run (and waste) water over the filter for 10-15 seconds. I'd like to think there is a better, resource saving, method of doing so. But otherwise, I like them and will continue to buy and use them.
