We suggest stacking a 5-micron filter on top of a 1-micron filter which will help keep your flow slow as well as filtering out any fine dust particles.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe media didn't work, what did I do wrong?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThere is an exceptionally good chance you did not restrict your solvent flow enough. Try again with a much slower flow through your filter. Another variable you might consider adjusting is solvent temperature. Colder solvent will pull less lipids and waxes which can impede the efficiency of the adsorbent.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eNote:  Bulk Bags\u003cspan\u003e and Bulk sizes are non-stocked items and will be ordered as needed and carry a several week lead time and require a forklift or pallet jack\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"BVV","offers":[{"title":"Pouch (2kg)","offer_id":43818294607908,"sku":"PSAPGZCYPXZ2","price":160.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3.5 Gal (9kg)","offer_id":43818294640676,"sku":"PSAPGZCY3PZ9","price":300.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"7 Gal (18kg)","offer_id":43818294673444,"sku":"PSAPGZCY7P18","price":380.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"55 Gal (120kg)","offer_id":43818294706212,"sku":"PSAPGZCYFD12","price":1450.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0254\/3914\/1924\/files\/ZEOCLEAR.jpg?v=1773856785","url":"https:\/\/www.growitdepot.com\/products\/carbon-chemistry-apg-granular-zeoclear-y","provider":"Grow It Depot","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
