    Nothing yet, what kind of flow rate, maybe I can build one up for you to try.

    Fernox says if you need larger then 1" you have to pipe it as a bypass.

    Fernox also claims that you can parallel two units to double the capacity. I can't imagine why you could not do it with Calefi.

    One of the issues is space and how much do i want to repipe and how much versa bar and supports will have to be re located to fit it in .I like the vortex design and have used it with excellent results but i will end up using a 1 1/4 hortizontal dirt mag and digging in a little bit more then planned or desired .Oh well thats progress thanks peace and good luck clammy
