# How to Remove Salt Resin & Haze From a Filter
Occasionally, a filter can be coated with the resin from salt if it's left in saltwater or another salt solution for an extended length of time. If you are using a water filter, the filter can eventually become clogged with the salt residue as well as other hard water minerals. Soaking the filter in vinegar should remove the resin and hazy look efficiently.
