DJ88 is on a distinguished road
Default Reactor assembled. Pic Now running.

When it comes time to clean I will drain it. Through the two John Guest fittings lower than the disconnects. Due to the infrequency of this happening I am not worried about it too much. On my old Rx I never cleaned the Mag. Still runs fine.

FYI. I just took my old Rx's Mag apart after running for a year continuously and it is fine, clean as the day it was taken out of the box. So the need for cleaning IMO is minimal. Very minimal. If I do need to clean it something is wrong IMO. I'd prefer to NOT take them apart on a MAG in this case. Or any MAG plumbed externally. Better chance of keeping the seal intact.

Do keep in mind the pH of the water (6.8 or less)in the pump will be low enough to keep more of the Ca in solution than in the tank itself. You are not going to get the Calcium build up you do in pumps in your main system.
