Just completed the pull of one jug from my spare van to see if it had good seals. The seal on that jug was perfect and only appeard to be a few years old. (surprise I like) pulled my drivers side jug on my driver van and the valve was completely off and the lower rim of the seal was gone (actually down inside the jug. Took that jug inside for a thorough cleaning with a bottle washer then put back in with the replaced seal. The crud that was in the bottom of that jug was the same stuff I have been pulling out of my clogged filters. This time I may have saved one filter change as all the water inside the jug was still frozen. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• jimt Planned insanity is best.
