Run the outlet of the reactor into a filter sock as well after you have washed it and that saves any of the solids from getting into the system.

:nod: Been there

I fill a salt bucket with RO and have another as a waste bucket. Put my rowa in the reactor and pump the RO from the first bucket into the second through the reactor.

The 'fines' that we all see, hate and get rid off are just tiny bits of the Rowa that naturally appear. If you tried, you could grind the entire tub of media into a fine, fine powder.

Right, got it sussed, have turned the diffuser right down so that the Rowa is just rising to around a few centimeters, seems to be working just fine, tank is nice and clear now. Looks like this is the way to go..
