rowa phos

[tansh]

Hi,may i know do i need to rinse the rowa phos before placing them into phos reactor or use stright away?1st time using rowa phos so not sure what to do b4 use.

Should rinse before use. Put them into the reactor and rinse thro with tap water. Let the dust flow out. Then pour the water out , set up the reactor and run outlet into filter bag.

Thats how I do.

IMHO, better use RO/DI to rinse if you want. For me, I put them inside reactor and run them directly w/o rinsing.

I run the rowa phos on reactor with DI water inside a pail to clear off the dust.After that place the reactor back to sump but still got lots of tiny black dust escape into sump and main tank.Wont ur water get milky w/o rinsing?

[yellowtang]

Please use filter bag to trap the rowa dust and small particles.Run lightly first and increase it slowly. Rowa should not be settled into the main tank.

Same as yellowtang, I use the sock filter to trap the rowa dust and small particles.

I also run without rinsing and trap the dust with filter sock like Bro James and YellowTang

[tropic]

I would rinse first.. The first Colour out is really bad.. Then I use the sock provided to trap any dust. Start lesser than the recommended amount..

[tansh]

Thks for all the advice.I do not hv any more room for filter sock just for reactor.The next replacement i will rinse the rowa phos and than tune the valve bit by bit till the rowa phos settle down.

You can put the rowa phos in the filter bags and place them in th rector.

Wont the rowa phos not tumbling if place them in filter bags?

Putting it in a bag will probably limit the media from moving constantly and may cause compaction of the media that I agree but that was one of the ways in preventing the media does from escaping into the tank, so I read. I suppose it pays to get a reliable phos reactor, Cheers : )

Yeah a FR will solve the problem and made the full out of your Rowa Phos
