prefilter for calcium reactor feed...anyone do this?

The Saltman · 02/08/2010, 04:16 PM

Hi guys,

I've had some issues with feed pump a maxi-jet 1200 getting clogged with debris and affecting my effluent drip out of my reactor. Does anyone use some kind of prefilter for their feed pump into the reactor to prevent this? Any ideas? the reactor is a geo.

What is it getting clogged by? Not sure how things are setup by IMO there shouldn't really be debris floating around clogging your MJ.

Use a 1/2 inch tee or a cross and split the inlet and put simple (old powerheadscreens) on the multiple inlets.
