I'm wondering about those filters from that particular maker too. It concerns me that doing the extra step could leave things less clean than skipping it altogether. Trust has to hold up throughout the whole chain, but reliable pieces are tough to track down around here. I read somewhere that another user tried a certain spot for the water and empty containers, even though everything gets marked for research purposes only because of legal issues. I can't say I'm confident that's good enough.
Living in Britain leaves me struggling to source sterile containers in the sizes I need. Both smaller and larger ones would work but popular retail platforms make me doubt true sterility and reliability. Something turned up from a familiar maker on an international marketplace yet I question whether the sterility part holds up. The units come empty with resealing injection points plus removable caps all presented in sterile wrapping. Does anyone know if this is genuine and actually sterile?
