I'm looking for ideas from anybody that has constructed a filter using the K1 media. I plan on using 55 gallon plastic drums with a vertical pipe to supply the water into the barrel. The water outlet will be a U shaped pvc manifold with a Tee fitting connecting it to a bulkhead directing water out of the barrel. The water outlet will be located toward the top of the barrel. Air will be introduced with venturis and an air pump if needed. The flow through the barrel will be up from the bottom to enhance the boiling effect.

Any constructive ideas or comments would be greatly appreciated.
