GFO *and* Bio-Pellets ?

[DiverDude]

You bring up another good point -the flow through each media is often different so doing dual (in series) reactors off the same pump, while saving the cost and enrgy of a second pump, may cause problems when one media needs more flow than the other.

3 seaparate reactors and 3 pumps seems excessive to me though. Does anyone do this or do they use separate reactors and plumb them in parallel ?

I run these 4 reactors in parallel. I have a 5th tee that runs back to the tank without going through a reactor. When I want to take a reactor offline, I open this 5th line to release the pressure. When all of the reactors are oppetational, the 5th tee is closed.
