I had some pleated acid filters fail over the weekend.
This is what happens when you put a polypropylene filter in a chemical (hydrochloric acid at 60 C) that should have had a PTFE filter. The polypropylene was crumbling, the filter o-rings and end cap blew off entirely. The pleated media was totally destroyed. Fun!
