Hmmm, I am curious to know the answer aswell.

Chances are your filter is simply not as effective anymore because the activated carbon is probably "saturated." Or maybe I am am confused and it does not work that way at all...just a guess. And from my fishtank cleaning days, activated carbon can only go through so many washes/filter cycles.

I skipped buying the 60 dollar filter and instead bought the engine air filter on my last trip to the dealer.
