Any Thoughts On The Klir Filter?

These look really slick, I hope they deliver! A great option to have.

Just get the one with the motor lol your going to be spending the same thing regardless [emoji1]

Watching closely. I am going to wait before pulling the trigger.

This looks really cool! Hopefully someone with a Trigger sump tries it out and posts so I can decide whether or not to try one out!

Socks are an annoying chore for sure. I cant stand felt socks, too much maintenance. I use mesh, which do help mechanical filtration keeping the water clean and it is super easy to clean, in less than 30” I clean both 4” ones from my sump. I clean them 1-2x a week. Sometimes only 1x and I see no difference in the water quality.

What is the purpose of the Klir? Will you see difference in nitrates in the tank? Folks running Triton completely got rid of socks...the idea is food waste is needed for balance. I guess $250 is the price for not cleaning socks anymore?

So I guess it will work for all the people not doing the Triton method

My point was Triton says they think waste is necessary to health of a system, therefore they removed the socks.

I asked benefit to the system of running the Klir. I can understand some dont want to change socks, it is an undesirable chore. Benefits beyond the convenience factor is what Im wondering

 

[richiero]

Yeah I think it’s mostly for people who use socks and hate changing and also for people who are trying to achieve crystal clear water

His water looks crystal clear

There’s quite a few Red Sea owners, holding off until the bracket is available. By that time there should be some real time reviews hopefully posted here.

The klir filter looks nice, but you cant put enough water through it and if you have multiple socks you will need multiple units. not cost effective IMPO .

 

[richiero]

It does 800 gph which is a lot , plus if you factor in water cost on cleaning the socks , electricity cost on running the washer , products to clean the socks and the in tangible which is not having to spend time changing the socks out and washing them = more time enjoying your reef. [emoji1]

Did anyone ever find out if it will work in a AIO tank setup or not?

Since these are now in retail channels and being used, it's not so great to see the retail fleece cost is %40 higher than the RAP marketing was letting on in April. "Replacement fleece is $10 each!'

And it’s only 25 yard of the 4” version. The 7” version is probably going to be much more expensive.

We'll see soon

250 per filter sock replacement along with 40 in fabric seems steep. I’d rather clean socks. I have three filter socks on my system. I could never spend 750 on that.
