有一些主要差异迷你5”和十大”反应堆。首先,迷你的目的是单独运行的碳或GFO和碳。虽然是可能的,我们不建议单独运行GFO因为反应堆有点太短让它正确地下跌。而更大的反应堆可以使用不同的卷GFO和碳通过上下滑动泡沫磁盘,迷你我们建议包装小盒满这将阻止问题的碳和/或GFO暴跌和创建不必要的罚款。这意味着您可以添加约3/4杯的碳核反应堆或半杯的碳和1/4杯GFO。你需要一个工具像螺丝刀流行顶部,添加你的媒体,取代泡沫顶部和塑料盖子和你都准备好了。安装:有两种方法去安装这个小型反应堆可能是严重依赖于你的空间约束。第一个是削减所有的油管很短所以泵基本上挂的摄入量,然后把阀的输出。这产生一个小,紧凑的反应堆,那就可以放下油底壳的任何地方。时候来取代媒体你可以关闭阀和翻转泵防止水溢出。 Then, take the whole thing to the sink (which is probably the cleanest and easiest way I have ever changed media in any reactor.) As to the flow rate, you can adjust it down if you like but since this is a closed loop where the carbon and GFO have many passes to capture the contaminants, the exact flow rate isn't a major concern. The flow rate will slow and contact time increases as the cartridge gets clogged with tank debris which makes it kind of self-regulating. If you don't have room in your sump you can mount reactor on the wall or inside your cabinet and use longer tubes to submerge the pump and the reactor output. TIPS: We do have a couple quick tips on silencing your reactor. Coupled with a Colbat MJ these things run dead silent but you can get some noise from the pump vibrating against the reactor or something else in the tank like the side of the sump or from vibration transfer to the tubes and something they touch. The easiest one I have found is these food grade silicone mats. just cut a piece and place it between whatever it is vibrating against or even better just wrap the pump with the silicone and zip tie it in place. For a more flexible install and zero noise transfer you can pick up some half inch ID silicone tubing as well as these 1/2" mur-lok stem adapters. I have been using silicone pretty much anywhere I can these days.
