A few questions about the EZ filter system

Postby Dynamic » Sun Jul 02, 2017 1:03 pm

Hello guys,

yesterday I used the EZ system for the first time. I drove my vodka 3 times through the cartridge and did not find the result fantastic, the percentage was 38 - 40%. Maybe the fluid went on too fast? Or is there a certain percentage that anyone can recommend to me?

I have taken 2 smell samples. One was filtered 3 times with the EZ cartridge. The other too, but I have filtered that sample again with loose grains of activated carbon. After 2 hours there was already a clear odor difference. What can be the problem with this?

Now I want to reuse my cartridge, I already read that it is possible, it is currently in hot water, after which he enters the oven at 110 ° C (if dry, I suppose). Is this correct?

Tell me that you are not putting the 'plastic' cartridge in the oven at 110°C. :o

Surely the carbon needs emptying out first?
What do I know,I don't know this system. ;)

The carbon is in a tubular block. Looks like 6 inches of pipe lagging.
