GFO-Reactor Needed?

Quick question but is a reactor needed to run GFO? Can I just add a bag to my sump?

It needs the water to be forced through it slowly. So a reactor is ideal.
Doctor foster is priced pretty good.

I've wondered that same question. So does it NEED to have the water forced through it? Or does that just make it disolve faster?
