I'm in the process of upgrading to using filter stacks but not I'm not sure how they work. Can anyone help me with this?

They don't filter anything when I put them in there

Welcome to "blinding."

When a face filter stops a particle with a pore too small for it to make it through, the particle plugs that hole, and once enough holes are plugged, you have a membrane rather than a filter.

You can extend the life by putting a coarse filter on top and progressively finer filters underneath, but the best solution that I've found, is a sock filter, which I've never blinded.
