Can I make a reactor?

SO I was looking at BRS at their phosphate/carbon reactor and it seems it looks very similar to my RO unit. I am planning on getting a new RO/DI soon (prob from spectrapure) and was wondering if I could convert my current Coralife RO unit into a dual reactor if I got the 10" media cartridges, some corresponding media, and a small pump?

 

You probably could. You might want to change the fittings to a larger size, though.

The are having sales on the spectrapure until the end of Aug. I just bought the RO/DI 4 stage and a booster at a GREAT PRICE!!

 

Sure you can, it would be easy enough, especially with the old RO unit.

 

Ok so assuming I go through with this how often shoul I change out the media, I have never ran a reactor before but figure if the components are there it cant hurt anything

 

Carbon needs to be changed every 2 weeks, but GFO can last anywhere from 4-8 weeks depending on how much phosphate it pulls out.
