coop Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 I know there are Granular Activated Carbon Filter Cartridges and Carbon Block cartridges? does anyone know which one is the best for this? and how often we have to change it? I aprecciate any help. I built my own granulated carbon filter. We use about 100# for every 700 gallons of product run through it. I feed the filter with a 3 gal per min diaphram pump and I have another 3 gal per min pump for the return side. When the fill pump is putting more into the filter than I take back out it is time to change the media. Coop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daveflintstone Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 sorry for asking again, but what means 100 # ? or maybe is a problem in my computer and I can not read the # sign? wikipedia is your salvation: Usage in North America Mainstream use in the U.S.A. as follows: when it precedes a number, it is read as "number", as in "a #2 pencil" (spoken aloud as: "a number two pencil"); however, when it follows a number it is read as "pounds" referring to the unit of weight, as in "5# of sugar" (spoken aloud as "five pounds of sugar"), or the number of hits a webpage gets (written as "my video on YouTube got 345# today"). The first form is more widely used by the general population while the second form is more specifically used in the food service and grocery/produce industries, or other fields where units of pounds (as weight) need to be hand-written frequently or repetitively.
