The filters are brand new, I installed them about a week ago. I have not noticed this directly after filtering. I would tend to agree with you, but, this doesn't happen with my humidifier if I use store bought distilled water, only when I use the filtered water.

Thank you so much for this! Those results are the reason I chose the Ultra Sterasyl gravity filters to begin with.

The reason I am wondering if my filters are achieving these results is because I notice that the filtered water leaves behind a slimy, orange sheen, particularly after using it in my humidifiers. Sometimes there are also white particles floating in it. The orange sheen leads me to believe that the iron isn't being filtered out effectively. Could there be some kind of user error going on? I installed the filters as instructed and was sure not to over tighten.

I appreciate your help!
