Rena Filstar XP3 question

[EvilE]

I am gonna set it up soon (bought it used) Should I use the spray bar outlet or the power jet nozzle outlet?? What do you use??? Which is better and why? Thanks!!!

What other methods of flow are you using?

I would use the power jet outlet. I found the spray bar a little weak. You can never have to much flow and the power jet outlet is just like adding another powerhead.

I use a Filstar 3 for water circulation and running phosban on occasion. I use the spray bar directed toward the surface for water agitation. In my case I found the spray bar output so powerful I had to both widen the existing output holes as well as place at the termination end of the spray bar.

Of the various canister filters I have owned over the yrs this is definitely the best one.

Ok, good. I'd use the power jet then. The spray bars will tend to clog and become less efficient over time.
