Whats with that wacky solution?
The solution for soaking filters pads is designed to accomplish three things. First, The combination of citric acid and sulfate sanitizes the pads while leaving very little residue behind. Second, the acid helps take away the papery taster of the filters. Third, the pads are impregnated with compounds that help trap particles inside the channels and also attract particles through an elector-mechanical charge. Literally, they have a kind of “static cling”that makes haze-causing compounds stick to them. But this doesn't come into play until the pads are below a certain pH. If you just used water to treat the pads, or water and sulfate, the pads wouldn't “work” until some wine had passed though, and you'd sacrifice efficiency.
By pre-treating with an acidulated solution, the pH of the pads drops and you get this effect right away and clearer wine as result!
