? about Mr. Clean autodry filter

So the filter says to replace when it turns brown. I'm sitting here looking at a brand new never used filter and the little window is already brown...wtf? Also I've used my current filter about 5 times and it seems like the color hasn't changed. Can someone enlighten me here.

Mine did the same thing, it never changed to brown. I dont use mine anymore, but I would change mine after about 7 washes.

You must have pretty clean water if it hasn't changed colors after 5 washes. Mine started turining brown after the 2nd use. The initial filter they give you is only good for like 3 or 4 uses anyways I believe. The replacement filter lasts a bit longer. I thought it was funny they say it would turn brown when it needs replacing and it's already light brown.

I had the 10 wash filter that came w/ it initially. It looks maybe a little browner than the brand new one I bought but it's hard to tell. They should make it turn yellow or something instead of one shade of brown to another.

take the plastic off of it and look at the white side of the filter i think that is what they are talking about turing brown....and btw im lucky if i get 3 uses out of the ten wash filter w/o waterspots....the water here is as hard as diamonds
