BRS Media Reactor Question

[aborrero4u]

Hey Guys,

So I have another question for you guys regarding my media reactor. So I got my reactor up and running off the ground and it has been working great now for about 2 weeks.However now I notice that the salt water that's coming out the reactor is very minimal at the most. When I started it before the water was coming out stronger. My check valve is open all the way on the inlet line. Whats up with the flow? So what gives, I am at a loss.? Thanks....I am using about a tablespoon of gfo..

can you take a pic of the reactor and the entire setup (where everything is hooked up and running to)

i have the brs dual reactor i have the same problem when new pumped my a maxijet or rio i forget but the flow is fairly strong, but as the reactor media gets crap built up in the pads it slows down.. probably just needs to be cleaned

and are u using the correct cartrige for the gfo? if not thats whats slowing thew flow bc the gfo is small media and clogs the filter pads

The dual reactors clog very quickly

Put a prefilter on your maxi jet or rio or whatever pump you are using, that will help keep some detritus out and prevent clogging.

Are you guys using filter socks?
I have no clogging issues, but I run a filter sock on my drain to the sump.

After a while the detritus build up and the use of the GFO will cause the flow to restrict. I would say use a bit less and change it out sooner but with the amount your using there may be another possible problem. clean it out and check on it to see the cause. My reactor does the same but I'm using 2 cups, with the new filterless cartridge from BRS. It clogs less quickly because it does't have the sponge.

Thanks guys. I appreciate the info. I am using a pre filter in the maxi jet but am not using the filter sock. I am going to clean the filter sponges and give a status update soon. Thanks again guys appreciate it.
