OK, I tried it. We use dryer sheets all the time. Well, the water DID just pool up when I first put water on it. I dumped it out, turned it upside down wondering will the water go through that way. It did. Then I turned it over again, turned on the water, and it went right through.

So, now I have a wet filter. I think I have to wait for it to dry before I can do any laundry. It will probably take until tomorrow to dry. :cool:
