How do I wash the Yorkshire moss filter?

The Yorkshire moss filter can be washed and re-used. This cannot be done for the other filters.

Using water and a few drops of concentrated disinfectant, you can use the hessian bag that the moss is supplied with to wash it in. Alternatively, you can use a sieve or colander.

The moss should be washed by hand in a sink or clean container. 

1. Fill a sink or container with 1 litre of warm or cool water and a few drops of concentrated disinfectant.
2. Leave the moss to soak for 5 minutes in the water, then rinse with fresh cold water.
3. Squeeze the Yorkshire moss until no more water can be removed. Put the moss back into Briiv 2 and spread it out so it is not clumped together from the washing process.
4. Run Briiv 2 for at least 6 hours at speed 3 or above while the moss dries out.

You can also pick your own sphagnum moss and follow the above steps to clean it, meaning you can grow your own filter. At the end of its life, it can be composted at home. We are the only filter in the world that lets you do this!
