Is Taco's bio barrier a success?

What's the word on Bio Barrier? I just used a 0034e that I like. Wondering if anyone has had one red light out on them and if anyone has put them in a dirty magnetite/ black iron oxide rich system with enduring success?

    Can you post a pic of the bio barrier. Explain how it works.

    Never seen it in place. It looks like a flat washer. I'm guessing it's a magnetite filter material for the inlet of the water lubricated/ cooled rotor. Maybe both inlet and outlet. You know how a wet rotor pump works.

    You will find your answer when Marty McFly reboots the DeLorean with a new Flux Capacitor. The answer is in 2035.

    After you make that expensive repair and you still have the same problem, What will you check next?

    Bio barrier has been out for a few years but 2035 is a good bet. Just check'n.

    So it needs to be serviced or replaced occasionally? It doesn’t look like it has a lot
    of capacity? I thought the earlier version was a cotton ball inside the drilled shaft? Looked like a Q tip pushed in there

    I don't have any knowledge about how well it works or exactly how. Hence the post. It would be cool if it molecularity repelled magnetite. No build up. Probably not much flow though it just fill, vent, expansion and contraction.
