Using Rainwater for Orchids - Orchid Board

I use a coffee filter. Actually several. When my filtered water goes into the kitty litter jugs, it is perfectly clear. Then, these black speckles show up. So, we are doing the same thing. I just wonder about the speckles which I filtered out again and they reappeared. Could it be the fertilizer in the water?

Might be a life form. Got a small microscope?
