Thefilterguys carbon, what micron bag?

[packer]

I just recieved my four bags of carbon and they look great, no dust inside!! It is the smallest I have ever seen so will a 200 micron bag be enough to contain it? Or even a 300 micron??

 

[Scooterman]

I use a mesh sack, fairly open up, I'm sure it is a pleasure to use their carbon with so little dust to deal with.

Is it hard to add the refills to the canisters you can get from those guys Scooterman?

 

[Scooterman]

I use a refill for the Di only, I replace the carbon block on the RO/DI unit using the
MATRIKX +CR1 for my water needs. The loose carbon you can do the refillable canister which is probably the best way or as I do use a nylon mesh sock but I put in in the flow of the return drain inside my sock filter. I have no issues refilling the DI at all, I'd guess the same would be for the carbon but I'd call & ask just to be sure, they probably have a trick for doing it easy.

Thanx Scooterman. I need to invest in their RO/DI unit.

More so their filters & service, call them & request a water update from your local municipal, that way they can tell you what filters you need to purify your water best & more economically! Why buy filters you don't need!

 

[nomercymike]

Makes total sense, never thought of that, I will call tomorrow. I have Kent Maxxima Hi-S right now.

 

[Scooterman]

That is what I had & converted it to a dual 75gpd unit! Love it!

 

[nomercymike]

Yeah I have a 50 gal and setting up a 37 gal frag tank soon. Selling my 90, no time or money to set up.

okay....so back to my question. What is the largest micron bag that will holg thefilterguys GAC? 300? 200?

I think you'd be fine with 100 but you can buy a few samples of different micron sizes and see what works the best for you. I thought there was a website like www.filtersock.com but I can't find it now

 

[packer]

I have an 800 and its too large. Was hoping someone who used this carbon could tell me as I dont want to go smaller than need be as the smaller micron will tend to plug up faster IMO. After two days no real use answers so I am going to buy a few and test it.

 

[Boomer]

I take it you are the same packer that asked this question on RC

 

[packer]

Yes, correct.
