It doesn't remove viruses; for a city flood or abroad, follow it with a tablet.
Never let it freeze wet; the fibres crack, there's no way to tell, and it's then useless.
Backflush when the flow slows; a clogged filter is a slow one, not a broken one.
It filters the dirt, not the poison; chemicals, pesticides, and salt pass straight through.
