Back from the dead!
I’m regenerating a 1/2 gallon of Kolar Labs Bayoxide E33HC GFO at a time. I’m using a 4.5x10” refillable cartridge and a 10” Big Blue housing.
How can you tell when it’s rinsed and do you think I could use tap to do the rinse? From what I’m reading I need to run about 25 gallons through it.
My tap is filtered through 2.5cuft of catalytic carbon and is softened. I’m assuming I shouldn’t but worth an ask..

Thanks, rinsing my first batch now with a bigger bucket of solution, my last attempt with 5gal of 1mol solution didn't get me all the way there. Need 9 gals of solution per instructions in this thread.

After rinsing with 45gals of rodi, ph is still off the charts and po4 is still reading .018.
It was suggested in the comments of the advanced aquarist article to rinse with 1mol nacl solution to make rinsing easier. I only have 10gal of rodi left so I filled my 10gal brute with 9 cups salt and rodi.
Hoping this helps. I need to sit down and read through this whole thread...
