Carbon block setup

reelredfish · 04/05/2019, 06:20 PM

When running two carbon blocks does one really need to be smaller? I think my setup has a 5 and then a 1. Its was the orginal BRS 150 GPD water saver. Cause it looks like BRS changed that setup now to the same in each chamber.

You mean micron size? IMHO, if you are going to use 2, then it would make sense to use it the way you already are.

The first one with the larger micron size will keep the smaller one from clogging up or reducing flow
