How do you do it? GFO

[Ryan Hurrell]

So I use gfo and what I’ve been doing is making some fresh saltwater and running it through my reactor until it’s clear and put the reactor full of gfo and fresh water back in but it takes a good 2-3 gallons of water sometimes. I’ve also filled an old filter sock with the new gfo and ran RO water through which kinda takes a lot of time and I don’t always get all the dust out. So I’m just curious what you gfo users are doing to get rid of the Gfo dust.

When I changed it I would basically do a small WC to rinse it. Change it remove drain hose and fill a 5g bucket.

So pretty much do a 5g WC through your gfo reactor? Which had the new gfo in it already..

Yep
5 gal is more then enough to rinse it out and to adjust the flow to get it right for the new media.
I did the same thing with carbon to rinse that too.

Don't use gfo anymore but when I did I would just run some water though my rector.

Same. I just run a gallon or so of water through the reactor. Once it runs clear, I direct it back into the sump.
