    I've been using BRS GFO for about 3 months and it is doing a great job. hard to compare as rowa worked well too. Best thing is the $$ savings

    I tried rowa, it did ok, but took alot more to do the same job as phosban or brs gfo.

    You would have to be a scientist to see a difference. Most GFOP and GFH products come from the same supplier/manufacturer in Germany. Some have different grain sizes and other are pelletized but the composition is the same. It was all borrowed from the drinking water industry where it has been used for arsenic removal for years.
