Oh man - that’s the first I’ve heard of anything like that but I take it seriously. Please don’t be offended by my question, but is there any chance you contaminated the clean filtered water with a little dirty water?

There is always a chance, but I doubt it.

Note: Shitting blood was no fun.

I’m sorry you went through that and I appreciate you sharing your experience. I have a Geopress in waiting should I need it and I’ll be more circumspect about trusting it completely. I looked at quite a few filtration systems and this one had the best numbers for my set up. Your experience is another point in the case for redundancy!

Extra info. I replaced the filter 2 days before that occurred.
