Re: [DML] Re: Plugged canister

Is it possible that the inside is also packed full of
dirt?
I tossed the bottom filter and put a new one in. The
next filter piece up was also pretty dirty, but not as
dirty. It is not replaceable, I could only blow the
dirt off at an angle.
I'm just curious about the condition of the charcoal
inside, now.
