I tee off my return pump and restrict the outlet of the reactorHow do you feed your reactor?
I remember when building these was a bit of a trend. They are effective but a bit sensitive and as I recall not without dangers.
I find them not to be too sensitive at all and I think the "dangers" are over stated, but I'd be curious to your experiences?
Fair enough. I've had mine running for 5+ years now and find if you keep the feed water free of detritus, you almost never have to touch the reactor again. I clean my media every 12-18 months due to detritus making its way into the reactor, but other than that it has been bullet proofI built one and ran it with a needle valve on the outlet. I got tired of dealing with the media (one more thing to do) and the low pH of the effluent (my Calcium reactor was bad enough) and shut it down. I found adjusting the flow through to be as annoying as a coil denitrator but at least you didn't have to feed it vodka.
