With all the talk of water in wmo lately, is anyone running two water filters??
Or is this overkill???
Or does it make a difference if a person used two water filters, with two different brand names??
I do have a CF, but use my filters as mixing type function before I CF.
Tell me what you've used or your experience.

Yep, water block, sorry I didn't put that on.
The house water filter I've read many do use, but only to filter wmo not to take water out.

I dewater my wmo by blend with gas then settle for at least a week then filter through a 20 micron engine oil filter (Fram PH2825, it'll fit in place of a PH8A. I use it as it do not have a bypass valve) then centrifuge. After I centrifuged, I polish my fuel by circulating through another 20 micron filter > 5 micron whole house water filter (Cullingan) > 15 micron goldenrod water blocker (the see-through version) for a bit before I put any of the fuel in my truck. Work fine for me.

When I researched on the water blocker, I find that if I try to filter fuel with high water content, the water blocker will clog and restrict the flow quick just like if it's clogged with dirt. I have yet clog my first water blocker element..... So I think your best bet to do is blend and settle long enough (minimum of one week) then you're good to go.

Thanks for spec on the Fram PH2825, because I use a PH8A now.(I'm gonna change that)
My filters are the PH8A, the same Goldenrod water block you have. the last filter is a 2 micron
