I visited the beach this weekend and obviously got a good amount of salt spray on my filters. Any suggestions on cleaning them effectively? I believe I can use a isopropyl alcohol cleaner but I'd rather not use any alcohol...hot water maybe?

    I believe those filters are sealed so "warm" water rinse is probably OK, and I would follow with distilled water final rinse before drying with an optical grade microfiber cloth.

    Rubbing + salt cristals = scratch your filter.
