Blackline filtration system

[jsheridan]

ive been reading up on sand filters for a couple months now.

its quite the interesting process and for those that have easy access to raw materials can build a system that will last for months maybe a year maintenance free.

i can see the ink waste being the hardest to collect but think pea stone and possibly rashing rings could collect enough gunk to actually work.

what about the Ryonet S-Green system?
Looks pretty straight forward.  Any one have thoughts on this unit?

I wonder how this would word to filter a dip tank?

CCI Clear water filtration system, only one that actually gives you CLEAR water as the end result!!! Tried all these other things before, wasn't happy at all. This one is at least stainless, does the same as the others, will get you better than just a couple screens, but nothing tops the CCI Clearwater system with the bentonite clay flocking powder.

nice. so your line of thinking is the same as mine...

Would like to know your thoughts when you un-crate
and install. Anxious to get one in the mail.

We have the Blackline unit.  It works great but needs regular attention.  We go through filters pretty quickly; I suppose that's the point.
The Ryonet unit looks MUCH nicer.  It will be definitely be an option #1 when we look to add/upgrade/replace.

How pricey is the CCI Clearwater system? I couldn't find a unit that said anything about clay on the CCI website

Did you guys get the unit into production yet?  Thoughts?

We hooked our S Green up last week.
Works well. All in for $775 (shipping included)

Thanks John, looking good.  Our filtration system has never worked well and after watching the video for the Sgreen system, it looks to be built to last. 

Are there any safeguards in place for if it gets clogged?  Also interested in the final two stages of filtration media, which I'm guessing are the standard cylinder type.  Are they the rolled paper ones which would need replacing from time to time or are they reusable?

Hmmm.  I home brewed one with 2 screens for filter stages, settling tank, then an outtake skims the top water out.  We initially put furnace filter type media on the top screen but that filled up with gunk immediately.  Both of our statiuc frame screens clog up pretty constantly as well.  I like the two bays on this and the wheels are slick but I'm not sure it would solve our issue of having to constantly scrape out the filter screens.   

Does the blackline use static frames as well?

Let us know how this pans out over heavy use and time John.
