Unfortunately the XP 1 doesn't appear to have space for bio-schtuff ie, stars or ceramic rings, etc. I guess the bacteria is supposed to build up on all surfaces in there?
Are all of the sponges permanent or do I have to change the water conditioning one (the white one above the carbon bag) after a long period of time? Assuming that is, with regular rinsing it doesn't clog immediately after rinsing..
..and yeah, the primer funnel got some good use the first time I filled the filter. lol It probably took a good minute and a half to pour a gallon+ water in that little funnel. I tried your way the second time and overfilled the stupid filter when I put the top on.. Water everywhere. lol I guess I'll know better when to stop next time.

Nah it was my own stupid fault, I saw the top would go down in a bit and I did have a towel under it, it just went right through the towel. :)
