Dramad1 Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 I have 2 PhosBan reactor 150's and would like to run both off of 1 Mj1200 using a simple "y" or "T" fitting. Will this be okay? Will I have enough flow. I think the Mj1200 may be a lil much for just the one reactor but may be enough for both. Can anyone chime in and help me out? Link to comment
VW_TDI_02 Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Can't you just run them both in a series? Pump --> Reactor 1 --> Reactor 2 --> Return to Tank. That's how the BRS Dual Reactors work. Link to comment
Dramad1 Posted January 25, 2015 Author Share Posted January 25, 2015 I could but just ditched a dual reactor for these 2 individual reactors so I could have individual control and turn one off when not needed. My thoughts are to have them hooked up separately. After thinking about it for a few hours, I think I am going to just hook them in line with my return pump. I'm going to have to pick up some new coupler fittings to make it work. I'm curious though in how others with multiple individual reactors have there's hooked up, I'm guessing in line with the return. Hmmm... Link to comment
Haelstrom Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 The MJ1200 has 295gph max flow. Really it would depend on what you are using the reactors for and how much flow you need. I currently run a single BRS reactor with GFO and a dual BRS reactor with carbon in one canister and nothing in the other. I use ball valves to control the flow for each off of a T with a MJ900. For my purposes it works fine. GFO needs only a strong enough flow to agitate the surface enough to keep it from clumping. I have the valve to the carbon wide open and I dial down the flow to the GFO. Link to comment
Dramad1 Posted January 25, 2015 Author Share Posted January 25, 2015 I planned to run gfo in the one and carbon in the other as well. I think a min of 100 gph through each reactor min, with a max flow of 300gph to each reactor max. I do have the ball valves hooked into the intake of the reactors so I can adjust flow as needed. I was wanting to run the reactors on just one pump but was not sure if the mj1200 is strong enough. It seems like it is as far as min flow requirements but not big enough for max flow requirements. What would be a good choice of pump to run 2 reactors using a "y" or "t", to split the flow to the 2? Or would putting them in line with my return (DC 12000) be the best option? Pics of the reactors awaiting how I'm going to hook them up. Link to comment
