Yeah I know it's only 500 gph but its holding fine now.I don't think this thing is designed for 2000 gph, I would imagine that is part of your problem. I run about 350 gph through mine and rolls last about 6-7 weeks.

I run mine like the picture and have had zero issues. I am still on my first roll though. I've looked extensively at pictures of this roller filter and half the pics show the cloth inside the first roller and half show the cloth outside the first roller. I believe this is the proper way to prevent snags.Here's a screen shot from the video as to how I oriented the slack side. I actually did this by accident because I took it all apart and forgot, but I've been running it like that for months and I prefer it
I have an update they dont like flow and my new sump will have sock.Any more updates?
Wow 8 or 9 rolls. I'm a year and a half in and I think I'm at 5 with a vary heavy fish load. I have notice the new rolls they have out do not last as long.Mine is still kicking, no problems. I noticed they just came out with both a larger and smaller version, so there are three total now. Mine is about 14 months old and I've probably been through eight or nine rolls.
Since the fleece being used is 20 micron(?) that would be a very small hole and you theoretically could run a lot of flow through it but have to run a lot more fleece replacements.
I'm considering the largest one, supposedly 1500gph max flow, since the surface area is a lot bigger than the smaller one. IMO, BM should have two options for the micron size, the smaller and a larger one at like 100 or 150 micron.
TBH, filter socks are so much work... unless you get like 20 of them and do the cleaning of all of them all at once.
I have an update too - came back from 5 weeks and overpaid for the first available same day Clarisea the next day - life is now good.Any more updates?
Cheers! Not wanting to have sounded too negative - I'm glad it works well for you. I really had to mess with mine and needed more performance in the end.Sorry to hear that mine works like clock still 1st roll since August tank clearvsump clear
Mine is still working great. My only complaint is I think they changed paper or something at some point because some rolls stay really white and last 2-3 weeks and some get really brown and last 6-7. [snip] If all the BM rolls were the 6-7 week type I would have no problem with that.
Its funny you mention that, I’ve literally had the exact same experience... the first roll with the machine, lasted about 1.3 months. The second roll lasted about 3 weeks. The third roll is lasting 1.3 months. Lol
Keep me in mind when you source another material. I’d be interested in joining you to keep expectations of roll longevity.
Just read 1500gphWould love to know the GPH. Can’t find it anywhere. 1” inlet so guessing 500?
