I was reading sawyer's faq on their water filters and came across this bit on sanitation:
Before storing your filter, Sawyer recommends sanitizing your filter. This process is simple: Back flush filter. Run a standard bleach solution (fragrance free) through your filter (one cap of bleach per quart of water). Let air dry and then store in a cool, dry place OR store wet and clean before using.
that last bit had me confused. is sawyer actually suggesting you can store their water filters wet, as in submerged in a container of water long term until ready to use again? or am I not reading it right?
