I was having some trouble with my pryrolox filter not getting all the iron out after my chlorine injection stopped and I didn't catch it for a day so I decided to just spin the valve off and look into the tank. As I was lifting the valve off the rise tube came up along with it and wouldn't go back down. So I dumped the media out and the gravel came with it. Does the gravel have to be separated from the manganese dioxide before going back into the tank and how can I do that or do I have to just buy new media and gravel and start over.
I did notice before I dumped the tank that there was some gravel laying on top of the media. What's that mean?
The manual just addresses refilling with new media and gravel. The manual also says there is suppose to be laterals that the rise tube goes into at the bottom of the tank but all I found was just a basket similar to the one on the top of the riser.
The media looks good no sludge on anything in the tank so I'd like to reuse it if I can get it back in the tank.
Do you think I should soak it while I have it out in some chlorine solution, if so how much chlorine and for how long should it set.
Any help would be appreciated I've not done this before
