I actually use the filters for about 3 times longer than you are
supposed to (this is a jug kept in the fridge -- would be more
hesitant about one at room temp).
Heard this comment from several people - is it just because they
seem like the perfect breeding ground for bacteria and such nasties?
They are. Both my filter units - when I used em - went algal green.
Washing out in bleach solved the problem.
Nowt wrong with a bit of algae - don't water softeners contain a small
amount of silver which has been known to be a bactericide (?) since at
least Roman times
