    While changing my filters and membrane this morning, I am looking at them and thinking it is a shame to put in the trash to go to the landfill. I did a quick search and really did not come up with much on the subject. I might be wrong, but I believe some of the ingredients can be regenerated. What does everyone else do with their used filters and membranes?

    Landfill.
    One of the biggest advantages Spectrapure promotes is with their longer carbon block, RO membrane and DI life, you send less to the landfill so are much more "Green".
