Phosban 150 question?

I have two and want to use one as a carbon reactor and the other as a gfo reactor the question I have can I Dixie chain them or run an addition pump so each gets it's own water flow?

 

I have changed mine, you lose out on having different flow options. GFO can break up into dust if ran too quick. Also, you may as well just run them both in 1 and save the other for bio pellets? Thats what I will be doing...

 

Thank you

 

I also have 2 of the phosban 150. I used to run GFO and Carbon. Now I switch to Carbon and Bio Pellets. I run these 2 on my return pump hehe. Save some electric bill on the pump.

 

I would put a T in after the pump and run them in parallel. Eliminates flow and cross contamination issues. Run a ball valve after the T to reduce flow if needed to a reactor.

 

that was a great idea i would have never thought of that in a thousand years

 

Run the pump into a tee and use the included valves on the output of each recator so you can vary the flows. GFO and carbon work best at different flow rates and have different useful lives so this way you can control and maintain them individually.

 

can i use flexible tubing with this concept?

 

Sure, I did. I use a barbed tee, I think it is 1/2" ID and heavy clear vinyl tubing so it does not kink.

 

thanks for the advice. in April im actually setting everything up so this was a big help
