mjd271169 Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 tonight when cleaning I tested a few variations of the filter with the following results. Timed to fill a 1 litre jug current set up - filter on stand under tank, tank 20 inch so approx 34inch from top of filter to top of tank 1L in 25 sec = 144L hour remove all media trays 1L in 18 sec = 200L hour set canister up so that the top was 1 inch below tank bottom still with no media 1L in 15 sec = 240L hour this is an aqua one CF700 rated at 700L per hour. I am of the conclusion the thing is FUBAR and I am at a loss other than buy a new filter how to improve anything. thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 Doesn't sound right??? Most cannisters are a closed system....should NOT be any difference in flow rate between 2 and 3 ??? Perhaps it's sucking air???? Flow rate should reduce if you are pumping from one tank to another at a higher level....but should be no different if outlet and inlet are at a similar level?????
