I was thinking about getting a Diatom Filter and got a little
sidetracked by the H.O.T. Magnum which I guess comes with a Micron
Cartridge that polishes the water. Considering the H.O.T. is priced
rather low I was wondering what you guys thought of that as an
alternative to a Diatom Filter right?



I have both.
The Magnum can't hold a candle to the job the Vortex does in removing fine
particulate matter- no way not even close.
Of course the Magnum is 100 times easier to use and clean, but if water
polishing is your priority then Vortex is the way to go.
