I have a single and a dual. I was running carbon and GFO in the dual but since I went to the pellets I'm just running carbon. I will say that having experience with both of them I would run carbon and GFO in two single reactors rather than than the duo. Just doesn't work as well. Clogs up too quickly.

I ran mine backwards because everything I read said to do carbon first then gfo. The reactor is setup to do the opposite.

Where does it clog? Can't you just put something like a filter sock over the pump to prevent debris from getting in or is it the carbon breaking down and clogging the setup?
