Whatman filter.. Anyone have a problem

[Gearhead]

Ok i did my conversion of test e and deca.. The test e came out great but the deca was a different story.. Well the original problem i had with deca was my fault but all i had to do was refilter it and now i got a new problem... When i refiltered it i noticed small white chunks apearing in the oil as i filtered it.. I than took a look at the filter and i can see that it is breaking up and pieces of the filter are now in the oil... My question is has anyone had this problem and what the hell would cause it to fall apart like that.

I believe that if you don’t apply constant pressure while filtering, reverse pressure can cause the membrane of the filter to rupture.

how many mL did you try to filter in all? did you only use 1 filter for this?

[Gearhead]

damn i knew someone was going to ask how much i filtered through it.. I know they are good for 100ml than you should change it.. The filter i used filtered 60ml only cause i refiltered it...well i got 2 new filters on the way so i should be good to go..

did u use the .45 or the .25 filter?
when u filter it don't press too hard on it... the filter is very delicate and will break/rupture if u apply too much force...

yea i was thinking that i had too much pressure in it cause it was the second time i was filtering it and i had just got done filtering 60ml so i guess i was like come on allready and pressing too hard to speed up the filtering process..
