thedidavid Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Congratulation bro.... Just to share my experience change the activated carbon media to Aqupharm or Rowa, the one in the kit is very lousy. Also for ceramic ring, I regret it I didn't change it to bio home. Once you dump this ceramic ring it will be very difficult to take out. I try it once but I got lots of ceramic splinters into my fingers and couple cuts.
