AD searchAfter so many requests from people for a real quality carbon filter I set out to design a few weeks ago, these units come with a set of SS wall mounting brackets, a nice little sample valve that can be adjusted down to drips per second, and will hold around 6 to 8 litres of product in it's standard form, but can easily be expanded to hold a lot more.
Just waiting for my camera to charge up and I'll get a few pics up SOON!
Cheers.

Excellent work Mac. I've already got the family chipping in the cash for Christmas for one of these puppies.

Nice job Mac :handgestures-thumbupleft:
I believe my name is one one of those units looking forward to adding this great piece to my collection of FSD gear.

OK we've just crunched numbers on this unit and can offer these for $399.00
When I price up all the individual parts the price comes to $451.00 so that's a $52 saving by buying the complete unit.
4 units are currently available, more are on the way in a few weeks if you miss out on these ones.
You'll need to supply your own carbon.

What is the total length of the filter Mac. I was thinking of putting a 45 or even a 90 deg elbow in between the to 2" tubes to reduce overall height .
