The nutrient concentration of samples of water often changes significantly during filtration. Six types of filters and four nutrients in fresh‐ and also salt‐water solution were tested. Two major sources of variation were elution of nutrients from the filters by the water samples and, conversely, adsorption of nutrients from the sample by the filter.
