Systems and methods for monitoring a filter in, for example, an immersion cooled system are described. In one embodiment the application pertains to a process comprising employing a filter media to filter fluid wherein one or more electrical properties change depending upon pH of the filter fluid. The one or more electrical properties may be measured to monitor the filter. If desired, the filter media's electrical properties may be modified based on the configuration of the filter to facilitate the measurements.
