Just a heads up for those that don't run reactors for their zeoliths (ie in a bag)

Tesco's are selling these baskets at the moment would easily hold a litre or two and would be better than a bag in the sump and ideal for shaking. Whats more will only set you back 47pence!!!!!!
Anyway thought it might help somebody, as they say every little helps!

(Disclaimer: I know Tesco's are not sponsers, I don't care if you can get them on ebay half price, yes they are made in the far east and I'm sure a german built one useing black plastic is better, I'm sure that basket is the correct term, although container,tub, vesticle will also do, I don't think they will do a deal for Local clubs/UR members, etc etc etc:rolleyes: )

The holes on that basket are too large but I have seen some with smaller holes. shop around - i've usually seen them pound stores.

Alternatively - go to your local garden centre and pick up those plant holders/strainers - similar to the black strainers that Si G has used to cover his closed loop intakes
