Diatom Filter or H.O.T. Magnum
I was in a hurry one day and did not want to wait for the chlorine
to clear so I tried oxy instead. It is amazing the tarry brown goo that bubbles off the filter. Probably don't need to do it, but as far as work goes, it's just a couple of buckets out in the laundry room. Fill them with either bleach or oxy, takes at most two minutes, then walk away. Jeff Hi Jeff, Is that just the regular powdered Oxi Clean, any particular strength? Just curious, as I have ordered a HOT Magnum coming in this week, and I'm just trying to keep notes about the various tips for making use of it. Thanks! Regular Oxyclean, or it's generic equivalents. One scoop to half a gallon hot water. Use something heavy to hold the filter down. A friend left half a six pack of Budweiser long necks behind and I find them ideal for this task. ;-) None of this really gets the filter back to white, but I don't think it matters. I tried this because I'd read that oxy is fairly benign and I could never seem to rinse all the Clorox out. I've since learned no moisture, no chlorine so let the filter dry out completely. Jeff Ok, I've learned a bit today... I'll see if the oxyclean has any advantage over tap water :-) jk -- RedForeman ©® future fabricator and creator of a ratbike streetfighter!!! ========================== 2003 TRX450ES 1992 TRX-350 XX (For Sale) '98 Tacoma Ext Cab 4X4 Lifted.... ========================== ø¤°`°¤ø,¸¸¸,ø¤°`°¤ø,¸¸¸,ø¤°`°¤ø,¸¸,ø¤°`°¤ø,¸¸¸,ø¤° `°¤ø,¸¸,ø¤°`°¤ø is that better?? |
