Yes I am using both Pre and final filters. I have tried using DE/filter aid. With DE/filter aid it does make the syrup clearer and remove the fine niter particles but it slows the filtering down quite a bit. So then in conclusion my only choice to improve filtering above just synthetic filters is using DE/filter aid?
