Hi capacity GFO from BRS seems to work the best for me. I change it only about once every three months where the off the shelf brands I was changing about every 3 weeks...

I switched from using GFO to Blue Life PHOS Fx resin 3 months ago and I like the resin better. I don't get as much calcium precipitation in the effuenant and I get longer life from the resin. It is easily regenerated by soaking it in a warm tablesalt solution.
