Prefiltering Chemical fitration...

[Hermie]

So for people that use GFO... or Carbon... or any type of chemical filtration


How do you mechanically filter the water before it gets to the chemical filtration chamber/vessel ?

I ask because without any mechanical filtration, my phosphate media gets clogged up quickly, so I resort to regularly changing my sump's filter floss and turning off the phosphate remover gate valve whenever the filter floss chamber is overflowing.

In the sump or in the chemical filtration housing?

In the reactor. I do run filter socks before hand too

My water goes through a 7"filter sock. I would just put the carbon or charcol in a media bag in the sock. I like the dual brs media reactor though. Very basic. Looks like a rodi unit.
