Multicyclone filter

[Yoimbrian]

i know a lot of people use bead filters or other pressure filters, does anyone put a multicyclone filter in front of it??

Based on the description it spins out junk from 20-100 microns, and only cleaning would be 3 seconds to drain the bowl quick.

Would seem to be a really good / easy rough mechanical filter. I'm just curious how well it works.

I'm guessing max flow rate will make it useless in most applications.
I used to use a 55 gal drum as a settling chamber before my socks on my salt system seemed to catch alot of stuff in the bottom which I drained out with a valve in the bottom.

Hmmm.. I like this. Max flow rate is 7k GPH. I wonder if this would work in a gravity setting vs pressure?

Oh wow I read that as gph not per min. Seemed very strange itd be that low on that type of filter. I guess it would be pretty benificial.
