Gx filter is here

I'd like to see better pics of the innards.

There are valves at both ends of the filter.

Mine should arrive Monday and I'll have a better hands on approach at answering questions of exactly how they will function.
Looking forward to your opinion if these are actually better and worth almost twice what the tuxing or fast to buy ones cost. 👍

Will do, I've had the big gold tuxing, mine stretched the threads so I threw it away. It was nearly impossible to open up it had stretched so bad.

I'm running a coalescing type filter now on my EK-5. The new one will be far more portable for travel on the cs4. The size and magnets will be handy I think.

My delivery date is May 1 - May 5

Thought the GF said Monday, she actually said May. I don't have prime so she places all my Amazon orders😁
 
Totally different design than the big gold filters. The PMV is what makes the sieve work properly...

Yeah it does look like an exact copy of that Joe broncata (sp ?) filter that disappeared. Wonder what happened to it ? I think I will purchase one knowing that. 👍

Ok wait ….yours is the Joe brancata version right ?? I was confused. I actually think I’m going to cancel my order for the gx one as I’m not sure it comes apart or if you have to buy their proprietary cartridges. If you have to buy pre made cartridges I’m not sure I want it as the cartridges aren’t even available yet. Who knows the cost. Def not jumping in headfirst on this yet.

I'm sure it'll unscrew just like the "original".

Lifetime supply of sieve is $40! https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07W62755W?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title Joe told me to change it after something like 40 hours run time.

It takes about a 1/4 cup to refill the cartridge. I change it once a year. After like 10 hours...
