Quick review of the Innovative Marine Minimax reactor

[tlc]

I have a 4ft Cade. I have the maxi one for carbon and the mid size for GFO.

I have had one for ~2 years...I really like the ability to run small amounts of rowphos and easily control the flow rate, although my pump failed (which can happen to any product ) I would recommend the design. It was only when I put my hand in my RO container (outside the house) I realised the pump had failed as I got quite a large electrical shock. Inside the house with my hand in the DT I was insulated

just an update on these.

ive been running bio-pellets for about 6 months in one.

the reactor running GAC ( granular activated carbon ) its not very successful with bio-pellets. the reactor outflow cant handle the effluent/ sludge all that well, it increases the pressure to a point where the lid pops off.

ive cleaned it multiple times and tried to different types of bio-pellet polymer with the same results.


so... stick to GAC or GFO. im replacing one of these with a Bashsea bio-pellet reactor, will do a write up of it when I install it.

pic of sludegd up reactor. you'll get maybe 3 months before the buildup is too much for the reactors small openings and the top pops off. stick to activated carbon or GFO
