why does my filer look like there is green alge growing in it

Because there probably is. We had the same issue and it is likely due to exposure to direct sunlight. Buy a new filter and keep your water in the shade and you should be fine

Never had the problem with algae. I buy usually every 4-6 month a new filter, can tell on the taste when I need a new one. If it's a replacement filter maybe you bought an off brand which I did one time too, but the quality of the filter is not the same. Maybe it could also be the disc with mineral stone. You have to boil the stone before you use them. It also needs to be reboiled every 6 month. Personally do not use the mineral stone disk, don't like the taste of the water with it. Hope could give you an insight with it.

If you have had your system in direct sunlight you could very well have alge growing in your filter, if you take your system apart try running boiled water through your filter, if it will not clear, you need to replace it. Also check your water supply itself. If you find alge grows easily in toilets etc... You may need water sources treated professionally.

Hi. How old your filter? You have to change it ones per year.I did and I do not have any problem.

I have never had that problem over the years that I have ad the Zen water system.If you call the company that manufactures it, they will tell you.

Yeah it is green also but I have had great success with it. So long as you adjust your PH it work great. Depending on what your growing.

Sort of....reflected items are seen as white.the green is more a dim background unless the infrared light hits it then its a shiny brighter green. I have a secoind person provide the external IR light.

I did get a fishy smelling, clear "goo" in the first cooler (a rental) with which I used my first ZeroWater filters. I suspect I contaminated my filling container and with the chlorine removed on the filtered side, evidently, "goo" can grow. I have my own cooler now and the manufacturer recommends a cleaning every three months. I am beyond that point and on my third set of filters and I'm happy to report no smell or "goo" as yet. In any event, for growth to appear, it has to be introduced, above or below the filters. Be careful what you touch.

NoThe white on the plant is the from the trichomes, little white hair like structures. The plant is always light greenish white. It will be more green after watering.

The color of the material is a off green color. Dries a little darker green.

Like other said, dark green color is correct. Mine smelled more like a mildewy moldy smell (The MSDS lists it as "slightly fishy"). I wouldn't recommend whiffing this too often, it is full of bacteria (the MSDS says "avoid inhalation").http://www.bonide.com/lbonide/msds/msds802.pdf

My large Ioantha arrived smashed. I've been trying to get it to look like the picture but it is a dull green, even with the liquid fed. Sorry I could'nt help you more.

The most common cause of a green pool is algae. An algicide should take care of the problem. Take a sample of the water to a local pool store, they will analyze the water recommend a solution. The pool shops in my area do the analysis for no charge.

The pcb on mine is green as well. Not sure how it could matter though, the heatsinks cover it from top to bottom.

It is a green color when it comes out of the tube but is colorless when you apply it

your ph could be off or your alkalinity.if the ph is out of wack it will give you bad readings thru out.i thing it would be a good idea to take a water sample to your nearest pool store and have them check your sample, between the shock and pool first aid my water was clear in a mater of hours and my pool was green when i took the cover off this year, good luck.

There shouldn't be any color stuff at the bottom of the filter. Return it for an exchange.

I am growing it here in Central Florida. I had overwatered it so it had developed oedema, aka edema. It also developed cercospora leaf spot, (which my swiss chard also developed) a round, purplish spot with tan center. So I cut it way back and spray with Greencure, an organic fungicide and the new growth looks great. I've also sprayed it with Azamax for any pests. So far, so good. It grows quickly so I am looking forward to some healthy summer eating.
