The diagram to the right is an example of a Water Filter System. 

Their recommendation to extend the usefulness of the filter is from Outback™ Water Purification System. 
"Using the clearest possible water source, a settling bucket and keeping the pre-filter sleeve and filter clean is helpful in prolonging the useful life of the filters."
