Here is a cut n paste, not really sure about it's origin, doesn't really matter, except SWIW doesn't take,want,etc... credit for it just retreadin old tires!
The ratio's are the key here, work like a charm...till a bee can eyeball the measurements later. Also SWIW did not have good luck with anything but coffe filters when switching to non LG long ago and stuck w/it. SWIW uses a double prewet filter...if a bee is quick, begin filtering the I2/water imediately after the prewet, ie. while the water used to prewet is almost all but not quite fully drained, say about an oz to 1 1/2 oz of water still draining follow directly by your I2/water. Seems to help keep things flowin. Then just as stated below squeeze dry and carefully wring out. Un-twist slightly keeping all in the original filters put into a stack of 5 or more new dry filters and squeeze. Untwist, discard the newest filters keeping the 2 originals and repeat unless they tear. Then pour contents (clumps) into a fresh filter and repeat or use newspaper roll up alot then squeeze in vice or carefully step on it...Oh _Y God, could SWIW please overexplain the obvious!!!!?
Carefull not to spill....
"I love what you've done with the place!" She exclaimed in a politically disaproving tone. "Earth tones of orange, brown, and eggshell in a retro tie-die pattern." "However did you get such flawless blending into all the rooms?"
