why the DE on the very top of the filter media?
I’ll send you a pm about t5 but I bet shipping and exchange bring the price to about the same as the store. Found some b80 25bucks for 50 pounds but then I saw the shipping

Thats actually good. I had a customer email me on ebay and ask if i can do better than the $900 shipping its saying for an extractor to canada. The cheapest i can send 80lbs to canada was just over $300.

@bg007 I think the De on the top prevents channeling and helps spread solvent evenly through out the media

I believe all it does is slow your flow and allow more time for your powders to do tgere thing. And food grade de really slowes your flow. Celite is beter for flow

Does anyone know what mesh t5 is? I’m using “slow” filters and I think a tiny bit is coming through

Just looked at the box and it’s not on there like it’s on the silica box. But I remember @Shadownaught saying that a 20 should catch it all.
How are you packing your filter stack??

My medium filters papers catch that just fine
on top of a filter plate with slow filter then metal ring and another filter and plate then a bunch of coffee filters to fill the space on top of another slow filter.
