To those that have experience using HOB power filters as a means of providing additional mechanical / chemical filtration ... a few questions:
• How often do you replace your filter cartridge?
• Do you rinse / dry them periodically using tap water or RO/DI water?
• I have a mesh bag of carbon inside the power filter along with the filter cartridge, what other chemical filtration materials do you use?
• I have been cleaning the entire filter (body, input tube) every weekend by rinsing and drying to minimize any build-up. Is this schedule overkill?
Thanks for any input!
