Good morning, R2R!

Does anyone know of literature which describes the recommended flow (in GPH, specifically) through a carbon and/or GFO reactor?

In my reactor, I typically see around 60 GPH after I clean everything and add new media, but the flow decreases fairly quickly (about a week) to 40 GPH. The second week, the flow decreases down to 10-15 GPH.

I had planned on buying a separate return pump to raise the GPH (the reactor is connected to a manifold, currently), but I don't want to "fix" something which isn't broken. I also don't want to change out media before it's ready due to restricted flow.

Any help and/or experience is always appreciated.
