What if I did put water in the exhaust side before I saw the part that said not to do that?

You can actually wash them multiple times!

I wish k&n made the rainbow filters lol

and foam should come out of this filter after rinsing, on the other hand, when drying

I can't find my filter. Mine is an R 2800 model

The important part- removing the filter was so poorly made, one can hardly see anything. And then a great view on how to rinse it. Over and over and over again... as if we don’t know how to do it.

[carrielpn]

So, do you rinse them, or just replace every five years?

Won't running the rainbow on high on a filter that is still wet destroy the paper-based filter? I've been told you should let it dry for 24 hrs over the water basin before reinstalling.

Why is this filter dirty? Isnt' the water filtering 100% ???

I washed my hepa filter as well as just gave my entire rainbow a scrub down and it smells so bad now. It smells worse than any vacuum I've ever owned 😭

[mattingly]

Whoops... what if I put water in the other side?

washed mine and it stopped working, the air wont pass thru - totally ruined the filter. It was time to buy a new one anyway (5 years old) so its not a big deal, but I wont be washing the new one.
