perforated plastic sheet for filter conversions

Post by vippymini »

so come on questers where do you get the stuff from?
weve a friend who wants to convert his old style three bay filter (brushes/flocor/alfagrog) to K1 and would like some help.
hubby has explained it at length but pictures would help.
so dig out them photos and post them for us. "please"

he has a vortex in front of the three bays so were probably looking at a static conversion for the vortex and then two bays of fluid K1 and use the last bay for polishing the water somehow, maybe a static K1 bay.

also wheres the best place to buy the K1 from (either the white or the black type)??
