BRS dual reactor question

[charged45]

Hello, The output on my reactor is coming out very slowly. Valve adjustment is wide open. Any suggestions on where I should start looking for problem? Changed pump same result.

TY

How packed is the media?

Clogged line I’d think. Can you blow it out with a compressor?

Also, what are you running in it? I've had GFO pack down and restrict flow

I was thinking the same thing with the gfo. It can restrict the flow significantly and I find tuning it in very difficult to keep a low tumble. I mix in 1 reactor and blend both together.

Only running carbon on 1 side.

Don't have a compressor. Any other way?

 

[this is me]

hmmm... If you pack your GFO so much that it's clogging the line, you're using too much GFO.
I'm using the BRS dual reactor with GFO in the first chamber and only filled up to 2" of the cart. The second chamber is filled with carbon. Dial the flow so that the GFO is slightly tumbling and you're good to go.
Are you sure you have your flow direction correct?

 

[charged45]

Not using GFO. 1st chamber is empty. Carbon in 2nd.

If the carbon canister has been running a short while, it could simply be a clogged canister. The slots on the bottom of the canister are very fine. A good rinsing of the canister would take care of that.

I actually cut out every other spoke to help flow, Small wire-cutters did the job quickly

TY. Will give that a try.
