Used mine for the first time and it was a nightmare too. I have a 1" dip tube and 1" butterfly valve so I was hoping there would be enough flow to have it in front of the pump (hooked directly to the BK via a 90° 1" elbow like in the pic on the test page). Nope. The filter clogged instantly in a batch with 3oz of hop pellets (and a whirfloc tablet, maybe that is related, idk). I will try putting it after the pump but this thread almost makes me think I shouldn't waste my time. I also got a version of the filter that HAS to use a screen, as the holes are quite large (like 1/4"?).
