RO Bucket filter system

Yes, I tested a 10 inch paper i got from another producer. They wrap around it perfectly with a bit of overlap. You would need more hose clamps to hold it in a few places. The 15 inch paper would have even more overlap. I had planned to use the 10 inch ones and food grade silicone caps to put over the end of the perforated cylinder: https://a.co/d/6Yf8fDd

Either approach works. I just ended up liking the reusable orlon since my press is 7" and I didn't feel like ordering separate 10 in papers.

I don't use the screen sleeve that comes with it at all FYI.

Relatedly, I'm almost certain the heating unit is the same as this one from vevor

Does the return hose just run through the hole in the lid?

Seeing as how I’m a home brewer as well, might be a good investment….

Yes, I think so. I don't have one of these filters just yet, but I already had one of these for bottling. It super convenient I filter directly into it and set it to 185-190 and just bottle. No more ladles and funnels for me

I checked the temps with my thermometer and it stays pretty consistent. The temp probe is ~2" from the heating element, so you do get some variability, but at most about 5-7F.
