Does the horizontal model filter out the water in a faster flowing stream than the vertical model?

I am not familiar with the vertical model and so cannot answer your question. The stream flow is limited on the horizontal model.

It makes absolutely no difference what so ever how you have it positioned. Horizontal, vertical, diagonal, it will chug away happily.

No, both go through the same hole. There is a handle that you turn on the unit that switches it to filtered/unfiltered.

No. I believe it would be similar to oxygen diffusion in H2O. We (Washington Dept. of Fish and Wildlife) use these units to recirculate water and introduce oxygen from the air into a tote of water for the purpose of transporting salmonids short distances ( i.e. from river environment to hatchery)

Yes. This piece can be installed both vertically or horizontally. Just make sure the water flow is aligned with the arrow engraved on the piece. You shouldn't have any problems.

Thats fine. Its not a mechanical filter so it doesn't need to occupy all the space. As long as its in a high flow area

There are two base models. One has a higher flow rate than the other. That means that more water can be moved faster that the other. But both flow sufficiently well for most enviorments. The other things that are added may be desired for some applications. You need to check with you local plumber to see what is required in your area.

The EZ 3 filters finer particles & runs water through more filtering materials in the same space, so yes, it runs slower.I've been happier with the EZ4 model. Runs almost as fast as the one & really filters everything. It's larger in size which allows faster flow.

I installed a PVC system for my unit and built it in such a way the the air must travel uphill for a ways thus making it more difficult for the water to get to the unit. I have had no problems with water in the unit. Hope this helps.

Yes, different filtering speeds are available. "Qualitative" is relatively fast filtering. Others have tighter openings and filter more slowly with a higher recovery.

I'm having no issues with the filtering speed. It may slow down with time but a fresh one filters a cup's-worth of water in no time.

No. You will need to put a couple of elbows in your vertical line to accommodate the filter In a vertical position.

It makes the water pressure coming into the system higher, thus "forcing" the water through the membrane at a faster rate, resulting in more filtered water per hour. The membranes create resistance, so the higher the water pressure entering the system, the faster you will produce filtered water.

That is the most ideal way. Water entering on the bottom and exiting on top. However, I know may installers that have use it horizontally with good results. The biggest factor would be actual flow rates being treated.

Yes if the surface of your water is moving. But as for a shimmering mode, it does not have that setting.

Horizontal does not affect the head pressure. It should be able to do horizontal and vertical just fine.

I am not quite sure what you mean. I simply use it internally in the property so that I can divert rainwater manually into a cistern when it is raining. It does not contain a float or any automatically feature. It simply allows the water to be manually diverted between two two possible outputs. Ray
