Hi all, been looking at HMA filters but im stuck between either a Devotedly Discus HMA 20 or the RO-Man HMA 2000. Anyone got any hands on experience with either or know which is better. Thanks

I'd go for a 3 pod unit instead of a 2 (prefilter, chlorplus or carbon & CBR2)
I prefer the clear filter housings, as you can see what's happening to the filters.
With the prefilter, you can see how quickly & by how much it's clogging.

I think it is quite easy to just buy the bits and make one it is just two pods and some pipe?

Where do you get parts to make a RO/HMA filter ?

The metal plate holding my three pods together is well worn and rusty, and i think it will break the next time i am changing filters.

What a shame the RO man is winding down? great customer service from them in the past.
I believe that someone has purchased the business and started up again, dont quote me on that but from threads on Practical fishkeeping forum it seems RO Man is up and running again.
