Thanks for the pics Gazza, i would need a ladder to see in top tho... small footprint tho which is good...
Chi, how about a fluid bed with K1? in, ive seen good results with these...

And it would cost less then the 300 quids worth of dinosaur droppings Gazza has in that bin

Hi Gazza looks good mate i think the TT option will be what i go with as i have first refusal on a Maurice TT,but if that don't come about will speak to you on where you got yours /LEE

The space available is little bigger than the cartridge filter, so not a chance, must be hydro sized or I might squeeze a small sieve if enough opinions preferred that.

Chi,

Do you wish to replace this because of the high maintenance as being on a skimmer there will always be some to do??

This is most probably a silly question but is it possible to pack it with K1??

As it's a pressurised system I cannot perceive benefits from K1 deployment, though I reserve the right to be wrong!

It's purely the fact that I have to clean 4 cartridges per week in the summer and 1.5 perweek in the winter, each taking some 10 minutes to clean with a pressure washer, excluding setup and clean up time. Which is why I'm thinking sieve or Hydro, as both are easily cleaned in a few minutes. The hydro can even be set up with a backlflush system with a little planning.

If I wished to move the pipework I could use my own design of sediment trap filter, which offers very low maintenance with very good performance, but I'd need to use at least a 50 gallon tank and can't fit one in.

Well it looks like the sieve or hydro win hands down if there is no room for anything.

So, it only remains for me to guage opinion as to which is the better?

Chi

Sorry Chi i have never used one but i must admit many are singing about sieves at the moment
