![]() I just use old RO filter canisters in series that I converted to 3/8 plumbing and tee'd into my return pump with a ball valve to control flow. The media is contained in the internal media canisters (same as used for DI). Works really well.

![]() I use BRS canisters with their high flow refillable cartridges, I use a piece of pvc pipe as a spacer in the bottom half of the cartridge and pack a half cup of carbon between sponges on the top half, I tumble HC GFO at a slow boil in another canister

![]() I sold my TLF reactors and bought BRS a few years ago because I couldn't take it anymore. I could never get the O-ring in the top of the TLF reactor to sit right so that they wouldn't leak. I also found the ridged pipe coming up through the middle to be a nuisance to overcome when refilling the unit. The BRS product or just some RO pre filter housings modified to be the same thing was a wonderful idea. They're solid, economical, easy to use, and they don't leak!

![]() I use TLF 150 reactors, they are a PITA to put GFO into but seem to work well, I don't use carbon at all but I do run Purigen seems to keep my water pristine.

and are they able to be daisy chained together and run off of a single pump like the BRS dual reactor? |
