Sorry to reply to a very old post, but I found it, and was interested since I have a Clarte filter with UV. I just changed the filter today (I'm a couple months over the recommended 6). There was some kind of slimy light green gunk (bacteria I assume) in the canisters. I have noticed serious water taste degradation over the last few months more and more. It freaked me out. My family has been sick a lot, and I've no idea whether that would have anything to do with it, but it sure cannot help. I've kind of lost my enthusiasm about the filter I have when I discovered the slimy gunk in the canisters. Thank you for the info, I'm going to investigate where to purchase a Stiebel Eltron starting today.

Why not try to use a water filter by Stiebel Eltron. It's very compact and does not use UV. UV breaksdown without you noticing it and cost a lot to replace. More important it only paralizes the bacteria and does not kill.
I moved from Clarte to Stiebel Eltron and the taste is so much better.
By the way the Stiebel Eltron filter can be used for 8 month's when you use 12 liters a day. The Clarte had good quality water for only 2 week and after that you are drinking worse water then the water that comes from the tap. ( bacteria nest in the filters)
Anyway look for untra filtration 0.01 Micron, takes all bacteria out.
