Trigger changing filter fleece material

orionstrident · Mar 26, 2020

I have a trigger platinum sump with the roller fleece 10in. Has anyone else noticed that they changed the material/weave of the fleece recently and now it advances way faster and you go through rolls faster when they dont even appear that dirty or is it just me? Also not only that but the 10inch models never seem to be in stock. Does anyone know like what material I could Search for or where to buy my own fleece and make my own rolls because the new material they seem to be using is terrible.

Comparing filter rollers- your reviews wanted!

After doing some research on filter rollers, I thought I would share what I came up with regarding the difference brands of filter rollers and how the pricing would work out for a nice sized tank. The tank ratings are confusing, given some that the units have almost identical fleece, and...

A little long but there is a link for a generic supplier.

I know this is an old thread, but I recently had the same issue, I found that the float switch inside the roll housing was too low. My auto top off was filling past the point of the float which causes the roll to perpetually advance. Wasted a whole roll! Issue solved now, though. I also recently saw a BRS video that advised to place the float all the way up. This allows maximum use of the fleece before it advances.
Hope that helps, if not you, then others!
