jean19, could you mean "wire wool"?

I'm going to follow this as I was just looking at the same reactor. I plan on getting 2, one for the ROWAphos and one for carbon. I currently run my carbon in a sock and think the reactor would be a better alternative.
Also, would feeding both reactors in series with one pump work? If so how about including a uv sterilizer in that series?

I'm curious too. Could you get the package and see if it has a web address or the actual name and any material specs on it? Merci

have a look that's what i use

Would be great if I could read french
Anyone thats bilingual can translate the site for us?On another note, how long until you change out your ROWAphos? ALso if running a seperate reactor for carbon can you link the 2 reactors? In other words could I have the output of the PO4 rector go to the input of the carbon then back to the tank?
I am trying the same thing now and I think I read to run a couple of inches of the rowaphos for 3-4 days then change it out and add a little bit more the next time. Keep doing this until you get the p04 down to were you want it but like I said, I am in the proccess of doing it now so I cant tell you if it works yet. I was also going to buy another tlf reactor and run carbon as well but I was going to run them in parrallel instead of in series. I dont know if this would give you less head pressure or not. Maybe someone else can chime in on the difference.

I run 2 ea TLF reactors in parallel with a sm MaxiJet and it works fine. Carbon in the first chamber and PhoSar in the 2nd. I still have to use a valve to slow the flow down so the Phosar is barely moving at the top of the column.
Babelfish translates it as Steel Wool. A quick search of steel wool and phosphate found the following -

Abstract
Efficient removal of nutrients from municipal sewage treatment plant wastewater is needed to protect surface waters from eutrophication, but artificial peat beds designed for this purpose have proved unsuccessful for phosphorus removal. Laboratory studies were conducted to evaluate the feasibility of adding iron oxides or steel wool to peat and sand to increase phosphate sorption. Langmuir-type batch isotherms and column leaching studies showed that preformed rust and untreated steel wool markedly increased phosphorus sorption by peat and sand, with the steel wool-peat combination removing the most phosphorus under realistic, leaching conditions

Abstract
Batch studies with an initial phosphorus concentration typical of storm water were conducted at the University of Minnesota on C 33 sand, calcareous sand, limestone, three blast oxygen furnace (BOF) by-products, aluminum oxide, and chopped granular steel wool for the removal of dissolved phosphorus from synthetic storm water runoff. Based on the findings of these batch studies, sand filtration enhanced with steel wool, calcareous sand, or limestone has the potential to be a practical and cost-effective method of removing dissolved phosphorus from storm water runoff
