Hi. I just bought the Hiker pro and used it on an overnight. It worked great. I used to use a sweat water but like the pump action on this one better. Question....what is the little sponge for? putting the lube on the O ring?

I've had my filter for seven years and never used the sponge. I just clean and dry at home.

The sponge is used to wipe the cartridge element & wherever else on the filter you want to use it. Personally I don't find it necessary to pack in, in fact, I've never even used mine.
