Great video and update, Ken! Like your idea of using a vacuum as a blower . Never thought about it , however a blower motor is nothing different than that of a vacuum motor. Also nice idea using brushes in on of your barrels. They are great as pre-filter media.
Hi Jens. The blower I have is designed for usage in a spa and produces significant air pressure, in my opinion much too strong for my filter conversion. The vacuum blower is less powerful but does the job beautifully and puts much less strain on the filter system and related plumbing.
I always feel so backwards when it comes to moving bed filters. But you always explain it well I am still surprised how dirty that water gets. Lol I would never fit in behind all those barrels. The brushes will really help. Wow that vortex brushes are huge.. i was wondering what brushes you are using .. Too bad you got rid of your box filter.. I still like them. I like how you used the egg crate You did a great job as usual. Full view my friend
Thanks Chris. I barley fit between the filters and the QT setup so moving anything back there can be a challenge. It'll be interesting to see how much debris the brushes capture.
