    carver (mk111?) water filter

    Thanks for all your bright ideas. I have been putting off doing anything for a long time as I got a few filters that a dealer wanted to get rid of - so I have been using each one until the granules started breaking up. As I'm now on the last one U thought it time to start investigating an...

    carver (mk111?) water filter

    You're talking about the wrong filter (your picture is a MK 11 crystal). My filter is a square block, blue in colour with 2 tubes protruding which plug into 2 holes in the fitting. Leave the filter out and water just pumps out of one hole because there is no connection to the other hole...

    carver (mk111?) water filter

    You cant leave the filter out without losing water. If the blue block filter is broken apart to remove the element it doubt it would be possible to deal it again.

    carver (mk111?) water filter

    I take your point but the filter is on the outside and if your remove it water pumps out onto the floor. You can just link the two filter holes with blue or red pipe but then you cant close the flap.
