My Oggi countertop compost pail came with 2 filters: one round and the other square. What is the proper placement of the filters? Jane

It comes with a set already loaded (at least mine did) and a spare 2 part set. The square goes closest to the contents and the round goes against the inside of the cover. With the replacement set the square is pre-inserted into the round cover. In the long run it makes no difference.

I put round in first then square on the bottom. Don't really think it makes a difference. I'm really happy with the odor control!

I'm afraid i don't know. My Oggi came with two, one round and one square also. I will investigate it tomorrow. I'm sorry I can't help right now.

There are different types and sizes of compost bins. My round one came with a square filter to begin with....why I don't know. If you order the square one, be sure to measure the opening to make sure it covers the opening.

Separate the top's 2 pieces. Place the filter (black side down) in the space. Click 2 pieces back together. Don't forget to rinse it first or the black charcoal with end up in the water.

The pail is very square shaped. I feel like a planet wise pail liner might fit. I decided to stop using a pail liner...It was just once more thing to wash.

Must setup correctly. I always use paper filter. Make sure it's only 1 paper filter.

I have four cartridges (2 on each side). In first one I put cut strips of Marineland bonded media. In the second cartridge I place a mix of ammonia absorbing media and activated carbon. My filter is the Penguin 350 so there is room in each side for 2 cartridges.

I have found two methods that work for me: 1. finger pinch - usually works for the first filter, but not so well for the second and 2. (my favorite) thick end of a chopstick or a thick bar stir stick. I always have a few chopsticks sets laying around and I found that thicker end will not poke a hole in your filters. Just push it through one of the top holes and it will push both filters far enough out so that you can grab them with your hands. For the hot second of annoyance that you might feel about needing extra equipment, it is so worth it! The double filter is a life and nose saver. Trust me! On a side note: I recommend that you pick up a extra set of round filters for every square/circle replacement pack you buy. The bottom (round filter) will need to be replaced more often then the top (square) filter. If the bottom filter gets wet accidentally (usually happens when I over fill the bin), it will mold and FAST. Top filter stays pretty dry, so you will not have to change it as often. Hope this helps and happy composting!

I use paper filters for easy clean up but the mesh is sufficient on its own. Paper filters fit right into the mesh basket.

Gee I'm not sure is there a holder for filters inside the unit? if so you could try one and see if it fits otherwise I would contact Cuisinart to find out what works.

I use them both in the lid, I put the thin one in first (usually cut the corners to fit it better) then put the round one in after. Not sure if this is how it was intended, but seems to work just fine. The square one is too thin to use on it's own, so this seemed to be the way I thought it was meant to be. Hope this helps

My filter holder is correct in all aspects, vertical and horizontal. The holders rim is flat and a near perfect circle. Same for the base. No problems so far.

I assumed it was just to double up on the filters. I put the square one in first and then the round one holds it in place.

Whatever place you put it, be sure it is secure. It should also complement air flow for dust collection and heat or ac sources? My concern is also access to changing the filters as they clog? It's an odd size filter. I'm considering making a pre filter frame to use cheaper filters from the box store. Good luck, be safe!

The filter is located on the right side, near the front. Just pull it out and clean it.

If you have the tank I am thinking of, and you want to use under-gravel filtration, you will have to have filters on both sides unless you feel one side to be sufficient for the biological filtration.

This uses a number 2 filter. The natural brown ones are better than the white. The Hario filters work the best. the ones you can buy from grocerers do not work very well because they don't fit into the filter holder and the grounds pop out.
