<p>Add 1/2 cup of ethanol to 2L of distilled water, run it through the pump followed by 1L plain distilled water.</p>
<p>You may see dye coming out at first, but the alchohol/water will come out clear near the end. If not, make</p>

Great Trick. Does this work on the base if you want to change the electrical system?<br/>

<p>Yeah, I was thinking only one pass, since it's already clear water, I know what to expect from this filter now</p>
<p>that I have done 4 lamps (including 2 Grandes, one I had to filter twice!!).</p>
