Can I add a filter inline with my agitation for Eductors

I'm setting up a copper plating tank with the use of eductors from Serfilco. My question is can I get sufficient agitation by adding a filter media in line with my recirculation pump. My plating tank holds about 500 gal. there are total of 32 eductors in my tank. thanks

I've done it with no problems. You'll see a drop in circulation as the filter begins to fill up so you may want to change frequently. I've used this set up on Acid Copper, Bright Nickel and Anodizing.

Check with Serfilco. They can tell you what size chamber will yield the correct results. This is a matter of doing the work and figuring out proper flow rates, etc. You bought the eductors, let them do some customer support.
