Hi Steve,

For resin medias this is how you want it setup:

Bottom stainless screen, no ball, top plate should be opened up and you put the foam disk below the stainless disk and reassemble. You want the flow to to be very gentile so it just moves barely moves the media.

The bottom screen prevents media backflow and removing the ball makes the flow less "touchy" with the resin media. The foam under the ss mesh in the top prevents the screen from clogging there.

I have personally never used po4x4 but this works very well with the other resin medias I have personally tested.
