Use vinegar to clean it. Also you do not have to rinse the media. How big is the reactor? Model?

Media might be to big for it......

 

[vr697getta]

i asked around and people told me it didn't matter and on the front of the container it says for all reactors.

 

[vr697getta]

well i will ask around some more just to make sure about the size of the media. thanks for that link Pat in a one minute i knew what i was doing from the picture

opps roland

 

[vr697getta]

lol poland
so i can't use the arm media

 

[jamesd74]

no its for a different type of reactor.

 

[vr697getta]

that sucks kinda false advertising on ARM saying it will work on all reactors

 

[buck50bmg]

Fine ARM media would work, but the course media is used for larger reactors that have a higher flow rate.

But as the Deltec site says..
ROWAlith

If you go to my site www.buckley1.com

Under for sale is my Geo 624 with controller that does use course media.

I can work on the price, can bring it to the PPG.

Hey Roland, I shot you a PM... I have about a half of a container of the smaller grain ARM media around here from when I purchased the reactor from Pat. You can have it if you want.

Roland.... Hey, Give me $100.00 up front and you can pay what you can when you can.....

I really need to get this one in use.
